Love buying/collecting art and craft pieces from the part of world I invade

Though I have created articles on minimalism before but I must admit that maximalism is my style of living. That I am Guilty of Maximalism: In love with Art and Craft of World and try to buy and collect them when ever get a chance. Today on the first day of the new year one of my resolution is to curb this habit of mine to some extent. As I know I am not getting any younger and there is high time I should start thinking about winding up. It will not be long when my collectibles will turn someone else’s treasure, as most millennials and of course my kids; no exception, are turning minimalist. They are no longer in love with old and artistic stuff.

Maximalism, in various contexts, refers to an approach that embraces excess, abundance, and the use of a large number of elements. It stands in contrast to minimalism, which emphasizes simplicity and the removal of unnecessary elements.
