Research in the field of neurobiology and the improvement of the field of neuroart has contributed to providing a number of crucial evidence of the importance of art's impact on our health, well-being, creativity and increased innovative thinking. Interaction with art and aesthetics and creative activity improve quality of life. You can learn a lot about yourself erstwhile you focus on how aesthetics affect our well-being.
The planet of fine arts has been interesting to me since I was a child, since I myself painted with the softness of crayons, with the precision given by flamingos, the perfusion of colors and the blurry shapes that can be achieved by watercolors. Time didn't count. The painted planet was even more real than the real one. This magic accompanies me to this day erstwhile I associate with art departments, make exhibitions, compose collections of uniques, or read books on art history, which, like beauty literature, are rich in many literary nuances and reflect the spirit of times. Then I enter the state of flow, a minute of full immersion into activity for herself, in which there is simply a physical sense of bliss, a noiseless sensation, which is simply a valuable antidote to anxiety reaching from the outside.
What gives you to interact with art?
Research in the field of neurobiology and the improvement of the field of neuroart has contributed to providing a number of crucial evidence of the importance of art's impact on our health, well-being, creativity and increased innovative thinking. Interaction with art and aesthetics and creative activity improve quality of life. You can learn a lot about yourself erstwhile you focus on how aesthetics affect our well-being. So it is worth beginning up to the planet of creation. Plan your trips to museums, buy art and plan albums, interact with art in everyday space and open up to the aesthetic and emotional sensations that supply nature, architecture, music, theatre... Ask questions, make associations, exchange insights. Take the liberty of curiosity, learning everything that comes to us under the influence of an object. We were not taught in the school of curiosity for our own opinions, and we learned the interpretations imposed on us. Art with all its madness, variety and ambiguity can change this state of affairs. An interesting solution to implement is regular Art, a Polish application that conquers the world. all day he serves us 1 part of art and a short curiosity about it, along with basic information about dimensions, retention place or classification of the work on the timeline. These are both masterpieces of the large class, as well as lesser known works, worthy of attention. Many Polish works of art are besides presented in the application. It is besides worth visiting Google Art& Culture – it is 1 of the largest virtual art bases. Reproduced objects can be seen in the best quality, looking at their smallest details. Each of them is provided with information about the artist, technology, past of the creation of the work, related anecdotes or characters. Through StreetView, the program besides allows you to walk around the most celebrated museums. It will not replace the real time spent in buildings, but it can prepare us for it and, above all, build a good mention point for explanation of works of art and emotional reception of artistic events.
Why is it so important?
This approach opens the door to sensual and aesthetic sensations, to our authentic same and self-consciousness. erstwhile we are connected to feeling, we get to know ourselves, our preferences and our individual taste. From this point on, we make genuine choices. We're getting more creative. We can choose what serves us, not what dictates the market. We are all capable of experiencing beauty, but the objects that origin this experience may be different. Our brains are neuroplastic and we can consciously care and enrich them. They confirm that. Research neuroscience Marian Diamondwhich have shown that the brain can make with enrichment of the environment, while the impoverished ones can lower learning ability. Brain anatomy changes with experience, and a healthy brain requires a good diet, exercise, challenges, novelties and love. investigation besides shows that our brains have the ability to physically reorganize and make fresh paths in consequence to the environmental stimulation we experience throughout our lives. There are no 2 brains like that. So there are no 2 akin experiences. We all have influence on what we're active in. It's worth choosing wisely. So what is crucial is what we feed them: what we look at, what music we perceive to, with whom and where we sit, what thoughts we reproduce in our head. All of this translates into our feelings and creates feeling. The right choice of incentives from the environment importantly strengthens our welfare. The environment affects not only individuals, but besides society as a whole.
Art for the Sensitive
Creating art collections is simply a large creative process. In the planet of dictated investment fashion, it is worth going for yours and checking out what we like, what matters to us. I urge the discovery of haptic art (from gr. haptikos – touch), which creates objects involving the senses of sight and contact equally. A large example are the ceramic works by Marta Koguc of the series “By Touch” – tiny forms of circular shapes by their nature awaken the desire to touch, and their small, palm-sized size encourages direct interaction with the object. Additionally, unlike the commonly adopted rules in the field of ceramics, they are not empty in the middle, but full. Therefore, they surprise with their burden, which makes the works more material and physical. contact is simply a powerful cognitive communication tool, effectively affecting our emotional states, releasing the neurotransmitter oxytocin, which is simply a love hormone associated with a sense of trust and safety. The brain receives millions of sensory signals and reproduces records from the past. An emotional bond is created between the recipient and the subject. And that, in my opinion, is priceless in art.
Meditation with Object
The process of conscious contact with the work of art described above can be called “meditation with the object”. erstwhile asked about how I make my own collection of art, which determines that I choose these alternatively than another objects, I always talk about this process – the object must talk to me, stimulate me, interest me, evoke emotions. Thus buying is not only an excellent investment in the context of capital investment, but besides an emotional investment – it develops a sense of aesthetics and stimulates intellectually. An perfect example of meditation objects is the work of Grażyna Smalej, who remembers painting lakes, oceans, seas and rivers in various contexts, water is the subject for her work. The artist is besides a associate of the River Sisters Collective, organizing among others. happenings to defend rivers in Poland. He lives and works in Sopot. all day he watches the sky-water relationship, 2 simple planes with infinite amounts of views, an image of a continuous change, which is the only constant rule of the world. It calms her, strengthens her, fascinates her... The emotions that the artist creates translate straight into the feelings of the audience. Large format works depicting the seas and oceans include the viewer, spreading the power and mysteries of the element, and this may prove to be a powerful aesthetic experience. I am pleased to hear the various ways in which gallery guests and collectors read these paintings. I besides joined 1 of them to my private collection.
Another work on meditation values is paintings from the studio of Aleksandra Batura. Her works are moody and multilayered. They are a pure evidence of the moment, the light, the feeling, and sometimes just a hunch about something. They let us, the recipients, in a way unfettered to make associations. I read them like poetry. These images, along with their unobvious lightness and mystery, introduce fresh communicative themes. Exposed among figurework, they bring breath and grow space. However, presented in abstract collections deepen silence, reflection on something more elusive – elegance and maturity.
The above examples of works are delicate, let you to relax, relax from the corporate planet and attack communicative from the media. But what if we request a affirmative boost? Imagine that after a quiet night, you enter a surviving area where a colour - speaking painting reigns. Below, I present images from Tomasz Prymon's studio, in which colour and movement are the main axis of communicative and talk straight to the senses of the viewer. This painting stimulates the production of endorphins, fosters creative and innovative thinking.
On the another hand, Julius Kosin's works, which combine 2 worlds described above: organized lines characteristic of geometric abstraction, a clearly defined theme, which is landscape, but presented in an impregnable manner, spelled in lines and arranged planes and sublime colour passages. That's where the real thing is. These works advance concentration, clarity, distillation of thoughts into decisions – they will be found wonderfully in office space or gathering rooms to stimulate decision-making.
Make individual decisions
By creating our own art collection, we specify ourselves, make decisions, we must trust our choices and tastes. In a planet of innumerable possibilities, dictated by all fashions and trends, courage and assurance in making their own choices are the most important. It's a luxury that will benefit us a lot. The choice of the work of art requires us to be educated, to “clothe”, to discern what is presently presented in museums, galleries and fairs. An individual approach, courage and cognition about ourselves is besides essential to make the most appropriate choices.
Choose your heart
It is crucial to know what we like, what speaks to us, what we want to environment ourselves. erstwhile we follow this approach, we scope for things that bargain our heart, which we want to have, and for them we arrange the environment accordingly. We care about what surrounds us and about our welfare. Well arranged space will supply us with comfort and harmony, and art will decide on the individual and unique character of each room. Let us choose a circumstantial object due to the fact that we feel good about looking at it and looking at the style, that the subject and the communicative behind it we like. There are always reasons why we like or dislike something, and it is worth trusting them. Here, a sincere choice is the most crucial and will always be valuable. And don't forget to have fun with it!
