Art can have a profound affect on our mood and that mood is obviously a reflection of the art itself. Multiple studies have found scientific reasoning behind the creativity of art which can help support mental wellbeing and improve our quality of life.
So what emotions can art make us feel?
Art can make us laugh,
Art can make us cry,
Art tells us stories,
Art raises our spirit,
Art makes us think
And art is therefore a key ingredient for any home.

Viewing Art
Even the simple act of looking at an artistic piece, such as wall art, does an excellent job at elevating our mood. Any form of art – traditional or contemporary – has the potential to evoke a sense of happiness and positivity. This can be done online browsing on your computer or walking down to your local gallery or favourite art store.

Transportation of Messages
Art is a timeless form of communication - it can provide an insight into the feelings and emotions of the artist at a specific moment in time. If the artist was happy or moved in a positive way when creating, then it is likely that you as the viewer will tap into that positivity, even if you cannot define exactly the reason why.

The Influence of Wall Art
When selecting the perfect piece of wall art for your living room, bedroom, kitchen or any other room, first ask yourself this question, "What influence will this wall art have on my mood and emotions?”
