The Intriguing Allure of Art: Understanding Our Deep Connection

We often admire art without realising the profound impact it has on us. Even in the digital age, art helps us remember and cherish special moments. In this blog, I summarise the main motivations behind our attraction to certain artworks. Why does one painting make someone stop and hold their breath while another person simply passes by?
Sometimes, we don’t fully understand what an artwork is about or what is depicted. A visit to a museum or gallery prompts us to research more about the culture and ideas from past times or unfamiliar environments, enriching our experience and education.
Art can also be an escape from reality or a visualisation of our dreams. When the "Sunset at Porthmeor Beach" painting was displayed at the Euphoria of Colours exhibition at Espacio Gallery, many guests commented that it transported them to Cornwall and created positive summer holiday vibes.
Art helps us find a better balance in life. If you live in the middle of a bustling city, you might fill your flat with plants, wooden furniture, organically shaped handmade ceramics, or landscape paintings depicting nature, subconsciously trying to bring the outside greenery in. My interior design style is inspired by nature and an earthy color palette. Please check the interior styling consultancy page to find out more.
The creative process is not only about channeling positive energy or escaping reality; it can also be a medium to express our anxieties and troubles. Such expression helps us release tension and stress, making us feel better. Observing deeply moving artwork also helps us relate to others, understand ourselves better, and improve our communication skills. If you would like to arrange a one-to-one drawing or painting session, please get in touch.
