"Street of Houses and Trees" exemplifies a work rooted in Naïve art (primitivism), with its simple yet expressive depiction of a quaint streetscape lined with houses and lush trees. The painting’s style emphasizes a childlike perspective, characterized by bold colors and a lack of formal perspective, capturing an idyllic, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Its focus on everyday scenes aligns with the themes found in Marina-like works that celebrate innocence and directness. Overall, the piece invites viewers to experience a serene, unpretentious view of rural or suburban life, reflecting an authentic voice in the tradition of naive art.
