Abstract
Art has long been regarded as a reflection of the human experience, with its diverse forms and styles offering glimpses into the depths of human emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. Thus, it is widely acknowledged that art appreciation is subjective. Starting from our subjective initiative, from a certain perspective, art preferences are related to the inherent personality characteristics of individuals, and even a group of people with similar personality characteristics have the same art preferences, which leads to one intriguing area of investigation revolves around the potential connection between art preference and personality traits. Art preference refers to an individual’s subjective liking for specific artistic styles, genres, or themes. It is a personal aspect of aesthetic experience that has long fascinated scholars and art enthusiasts. Meanwhile, personality captures enduing patterns of thoughts, feelings and behavior that shape our interaction with the world.
