Naive Art

Naive Art does not describe an artistic style. It reflects an inner attitude, an unbroken relationship to one’s own environment and to the creative implementation. Naive artists want to reproduce reality as accurately as possible. But they follow in the image of their personal perception. Naive Art combines storytelling, ingenuity and imagination. It is a subjective reality, measured only by one’s own experience.
