Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter and what is the idea behind a naive painting
The idea that accompanied me in the creation of these works is to rebuild and plan the city in the most optimistic and beautiful way possible, I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in each city that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings in boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers To give depth to the painting, I build the painting in layers. I start with the boulevard and the road, with flowers, grass, small plants and loving couples and children with flags, after that boulevards of trees, behind them low houses, icons, Behind them are huge trees and after them I draw the skyscrapers and towers so that it creates a kind of depth in the painting. In the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites, Recurring motifs in some of my paintings are the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene that takes place in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the national flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of a mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard, Most naive paintings have the same characteristics (Definition as it appears in Wikipedia) Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans. Represents the painter's idealization of reality - beautifying reality. Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details. Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details. Warm and bright colors. Sometimes emphasis on outlines. Most of the characters are flat, lacking volume There is no interest in texture, expression, correct proportions No interest in anatomy. There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
