Art Therapy


Drawing is an act of creation. It can be realistic, figurative or abstract, among other formats that it is up to the person who draws to choose. Often, the drawing style is planned in advance, while others emerge and change during the creation process itself. Between what the drawing is, how it could be and what it is possible to do, there are fluctuations in desire and in aesthetic and sensory apprehensions in the face of these reflections emerging from the creative process.


How does your drawing seem to you? Too detailed or lacking in detail? What figures do you add, remove or modify? What colours are missing? There is constant appreciation and transformation.


The creation of an artistic project is very similar to the making of oneself in life and the understanding and construction of one's own identity, as we observe, appreciate and qualify ourselves according to the differences between what we are, what we can be and what is possible given our resources and materials. Drawing can thus be therapeutic, helping not only to reassure, but also often to elaborate on thoughts and feelings. Drawings, being expressions influenced by emotional states and containing projective content when done freely, can serve as material both for self-knowledge and for expressing what may be unspeakable.


There are no good or bad drawings when it comes to therapeutic purposes and not technical or theoretical proposals and observations. Everyone expresses, at a certain moment, what is right for them, what flows to them. Drawing freely is a very unique art.


Drawing is still accessible, all you need is a pencil, a pen and a sheet of paper. Let it not be because of materials or unfamiliarity with techniques that you are reluctant to experiment and explore.


Go on, draw and express yourself!
