Naif in french means ingenuous, is a artistical current called besides Primitive Art o Innocent Art based on spontaneous art without any technnical and academical trainning.

Its main representative was Henri Rousseau who has the first "Creator of a new greater reality", french artist without method, system or mannerism.

In those time in which the Naive artist was considered only a simple amateur one was left aside nowadays it coexist a great variety of tendences.

In general The Naive tendences gather those painters who are considered by themselves out of the artistic currents. They also ilustrated the world acording to their own and spontaneous interpretation . But dont forget: "No one can be ingenuous just because some one wants".

It is possible to consider these artistical expression wich with no other intention: the internal harmony.

Is born as a consecuence of the love for a land finding hardly deep inspiration in the ancient traditions of the town.

The Innocent Art , a it´s also call, while it´s really Naive, and really true, will survive.
