Minimalist decoration uses mainly a set of materials, prefer raw and natural materials such as linen, stone and wood. Very often used, waxed concrete is often present in this decorative theme. A work of art on a white background with a clean decor will fit perfectly in your rooms. To bring a sophisticated touch you can bet on noble materials: a marble pot holder, a cashmere plaid or a wool pouffe.  Be careful with the mix of materials, you must always keep a harmony in the associations but it will bring depth and originality in an interior.  

 

Caracteristics and techniques

This theme is not limited to painting. There are, in addition to painting: sculpture, music, architecture and design. Minimalism is a major artistic trend of the contemporary period. It comes from abstract art and is opposed to Pop Art in particular, which is a figurative painting and where many elements are often represented.

Conversely, minimalist painting uses few details in a painting. This is its essential characteristic, hence its credo "less is more" which means roughly: "the less the better". Minimalist artists therefore seek to remove as many elements and details as possible from a painting. The monochrome technique is very common in minimalist art: a solid color is sometimes the only element of a minimalist painting.

If other details enter the composition (for example: lines, circles, writing, etc.), they always remain very few. The artists also want to eliminate as much as possible the trace of their hand and their gestures. Simplicity is essential: it must be pushed to the maximum and have no particular symbolism.
