Mijin - Untitled

The article includes 4 oil paintings on paper.

The subjects of this series of paintings fall within the realm of genre scenes, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

The stylistic approach to the subject can be compared to the Naïve movement. The Naïve artist is by definition self-taught, someone who hasn't attended an art school but has found inspiration within themselves. Stylistically, this translates into figurative painting that offers a simplified interpretation of reality, with infantile and unconsciously primitivist overtones. However, even the Naïve artist, in his spontaneity, possesses a self-awareness that leads him to develop a very specific aesthetic language, distinguishing it from amateurism.

Mijin is a painter whose style displays a distinctly naive approach. His desire to achieve a childishness in his depiction is evident, with the aim of imbuing his artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
