Maybe you just need art…

Maybe you just need art…

by Pınar ŞAHİN

What do you feel when you look at art? I don’t know what you feel, but I can explain what happens in our brains. Looking at art helps you retain information, increase creativity and think about different things. All this is done by the visual part of your brain, so you become a visual thinker in a way. Einstein and Tesla, for instance, were visual thinkers. Looking at art lifts your spirits, makes you feel good, gives you understanding and insight: art is our one, true, universal language as humanity.

To deepen our knowledge about the impact of art on our brains, scientists are doing researchin a field called Neuroaesthetics, that helps us to understand how art improves our mental abilities and heals our bodies. For example, looking at Van Gogh’s paintings activates V5, the visual movement part of the brain.

I ’m Pinar Sahin (Zeborah) and I’m a painter. I don’t know which parts of your brain will be activated by looking at my paintings, but I’m sure your body will start to do good things too.

Enjoy the development of your brain while looking at art.
