Obiverhoiluja

Obiverhoiluja is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "over-covering" or "excessive embellishment." It is often used in the context of artistic or decorative endeavors, describing a style or technique where ornamentation is applied so extensively that it can detract from or obscure the underlying form or essence of the object or artwork. This can manifest in various forms, from overly intricate patterns on furniture to excessive detail in a painting. The concept implies a point where addition becomes subtraction, where too much decoration leads to a loss of clarity or impact. While some decorative styles embrace opulence, obiverhoiluja suggests a crossing of a threshold into a state of being cluttered or overwhelming. It is not necessarily a negative judgment but rather a descriptor of a particular aesthetic outcome. The effectiveness or desirability of obiverhoiluja is subjective and depends on the context and the viewer's perception.
