Minimalist Style

The minimal art is the principal tendency that in the sixties it was protagonist of the radical change of the artistic climate, characterized by a process of reduction of the reality, from the impersonality, emotional coldness
emphasis of the work, and  reduction to the geometric elementary structures.

The term was coined in 1965 by the philosopher of the English art Richard Wollheim in the entitled article, note, Minimal Art, inside the magazine Arts Magazine. He speaks of "reduction minimalist", but in the sense of the artistic content, relatively to jobs where they enter game objects to the limit indistinguishable from the daily reality or forms and images with anonymous and impersonal values stretched out to the elimination of all of this that you/he/she is perceived as not essential.

It deals with a conception of life where he has the tendency to possess, to want and to do only that that is necessary, therefore essential indeed.

This style of life allows to escape from what it is not essential so that to be able to only assemble his/her own strengths and his/her own mind on the things that you/they indeed care things that give sense, joy and value to our lives.

Contrarily of as the society it conceives the concept of minimalism from the outside, he doesn't deal only with not possessing anything and therefore to live in an empty and boring space. The art minimalist could be defined essential, empty and sterile, but the style of life that is inspired to this from which the same art has taken sprouts it is the philosophy Japanese zen and therefore he/she not only understands the physical space, also mental.

Then it deals with freeing this space to succeed in thinking about the things that I/you/they indeed are important for us.
