Sounds like slavic narrative art is more like beef wellington than bran flakes and water. It's easy for anyone to be impressed by it. Nobody likes bran flakes and water.

Personally, I don't think that my "personality" should have anything to do with art. I remember you saying that you don't need to prove that you can paint, but what does that have to do with it? Is the idea worth painting well, or not? Does the execution serve the subject? Nobody cares whether the artist can paint, except for jealous peers. The public just cares about how the painting was painted, no matter if it was sneezed out by a master or slaved over by a naive, and then they probably don't ever learn the artist's name anyway. So, to involve my personality in my taste, or to involve my ego in my execution, seems like a real overreach to me. Who cares what I think or if I can paint? Does the work serve the vision?

Picrel, my go-to favorite.
