It does not matter whether one paints a picture, writes a poem, or carves a statue - simplicity is the mark of a master-hand.
I can't paint. I can't write. I can't sing. But I can decorate and run a house, and light it, and heat it, and have it like a living thing.
To conform within rational limits to a given style is no more servile than to pay one's taxes or to write according to the rule of grammar.
