What defines

An artist in any art form will apply the rules of that form/style of art, and then they push the creative bounderies of that style in order to individually express themselves. But, even though you are pushing the bounderies there are some elements that the artist does not change. If the artist decideds to change all the elements of the style then he/she has created a new style. If the only element of tiki that remains is a toothy face, then could I take a picture of myself with a toothy grin and call it tiki?
