Finding your personal art style can be an exciting journey, filled with discovery and self-discovery. Whether you're new to exploring art or already have a certain fondness for specific styles, navigating the many options can be challenging. This guide will help you understand how to identify and develop your own artistic taste.
Explore different art styles
The first step in finding your personal style is to explore different art styles. Start by looking at art from different periods and genres – from classical art to modern abstraction. Visit museums, galleries and online platforms to get a feel for what resonates with you. Perhaps you are drawn to the strong symbolism of surrealism, or perhaps you prefer the calm balance of minimalist art.
A painting like Elysian Elegance can be a great example if you are interested in a powerful and mysterious art style. This painting combines fiery yellow, blue, gray and white tones to create an energy that really catches the eye and can be a perfect accent in a modern home.
Think about your preferences
As you explore different styles, take note of the colors, shapes, and themes you are drawn to. Do you prefer artwork with a lot of detail or something more minimalist? Are you interested in bright and vibrant colors or something more subdued? Reflecting on these preferences can help you better understand your artistic taste.
Create a collection
A practical way to deepen your understanding of your personal style is to create a collection of artwork that you like. This can be a physical collection if you have already started buying art, or a digital collection of images of artwork that inspires you. By looking at all of these pieces together, you can begin to see patterns and themes that recur.
Test in your own space
Once you have a better understanding of what type of art you like, try incorporating it into your own home. Try different types of art and see how they affect the atmosphere in different rooms. This can also help you determine if a certain style is better suited to a particular space, such as a calming abstract painting in the bedroom or a colorful, energetic painting in your home office.
