Therapeutic Art: Painting with Mindfulness

Pera Adult

  • April 7, 2023 / 19:00

What would it be like to express thoughts and feelings without limiting them to words? After a guided tour of the works of artist Paula Rego, which draws the audience into the world of emotions, the workshop focuses on discovering the feelings created by thoughts through art therapy practices. In order to be able to express conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings without the need for words, the participants reflect their inner world on canvases with gouache and acrylic paints, and interpret their feelings and thoughts through the resulting shapes and patterns. Participants learn to be the guide of their feelings with practices aiming at emotional healing and creating a space of awareness through visuals, symbols and internal dialogue.
