Was Mucha's Art Nouveau too decorative?
Some may perceive my work as overly ornamental. However, I saw the decorative element as essential. It is through this harmonious arrangement of forms and colors that art can most effectively communicate its uplifting message. The beauty is not superficial; it is a means to reach deeper truths and to imbue everyday objects and spaces with a spiritual resonance, making art a vital part of living rather than a detached spectacle.
