Art is intertwined with human nature and evolution.
Humans spontaneously externalize a part of their psyche through their creations, which in itself holds the highest therapeutic value.
In artistic creation, thoughts and feelings are reflected, since the image remains while words vanish and fade away.
In this way, it becomes a memory to which one can retreat and explore again, whenever and as much as needed.
Contact with the visual arts brings a person into touch with their inner world. Thus, fear can be recognized, captured, accepted, become more familiar, and finally confronted.
The real world is made up of boundaries and limits; conversely, the space of art is free, not subject to “shoulds” and conditions.
To understand how visual creation helps, imagine it as a key that opens the doors to a person’s inner world.
In doing so, the most hidden, innermost, and repressed thoughts emerge.
Art transmutes the soul of those who experience it and creates a new perspective of themselves.
Essentially, by recalling images, thoughts, feelings, and experiences from childhood, one identifies with the psycho-emotional part within, projecting fragments of their personality.
Modern medicine uses art both as a diagnostic tool and as a therapeutic medium.
Visual creation—and art in general—breaks isolation and helps individuals communicate, give meaning and substance to their experiences and feelings, and nurture the unity of their personality.
