FAQs

Naive art is characterised by a rejection of formal academic perspective, proportion, and classical training, resulting in a charmingly flat, direct, and sincere visual representation often created by self-taught artists.

These works were typically created using water-soluble pigments on handmade paper, card, or vellum, often housed within simple wooden frames with glass protection.

Authentic watercolours exhibit actual pigment pooling, brushstroke texture, paper fibres visible under magnification, and historical backing materials rather than uniform dot matrices or modern printing ink.

Pairing historical folk art with clean architectural lines and neutral walls allows the narrative character and texture of the piece to act as a focal point without visual competition.

Watercolours are exceptionally sensitive to ultraviolet light and high humidity; they should be displayed away from direct sunlight behind UV-filtering glass in a climate-controlled environment.
