Neurographic Art

Neurographic Art is an Artform which transforms negative emotion into a beautiful drawing and positive feelings. The act of drawing is creative in itself and can help you come up with ideas to solve whatever problems you might be stuck on.

This process uses a drawing technique that links the conscience with the subconscious. Engaging in CREATIVE PROCESSES encourages your brain to make new NEURAL pathways and connections. Focusing on an issue or question while working on an artwork, directs more of your neurons towards this and enhances your ability to PROBLEM-SOLVING and MAKING DECISIONS.

The result is an awareness and mindfulness that helps turn STRESS into CALM and therefore, is a strategy used in ART THERAPY.

The art technique ´Neurographica´ was created by Russian psychologist, creativity entrepreneur and architect Pavel Piskarev in 2014.
