Emotions & Colors - Self Exploration Art Exhibition

Emotions are the driving force of every individual's existence, and when we possess emotions, we exhibit vitality. When emotions no longer exist, life loses its inner vitality. From passionate crime to Dep's depression, and then to apathy of schizophrenia. We can glimpse how emotions are changing within each person's body, and many people are unaware of their emotions and ultimately go astray.

And color is a rendering of externalized emotional power. Once our emotions are given color, we can more intuitively perceive their emotions from the colors.

Therefore,International Art Education & Therapy Development Academic Association and Culture Sower jointly invites global artists to explore emotions and explore themselves through color, allowing us to truly understand ourselves and heal ourselves, thereby triggering more people to explore and understand their emotions, step out of the emotional quagmire, stimulate the best emotional energy of each life, and shape a better self.
