Art expresses what words cannot say and feelings can

We humans express ourselves in different ways, through music, writing, our clothing and every activity that forms art. However, they positively help our mental and physical health.

Through art we express our feelings, emotions and ideas, and the way we relate to the world. We have been taught that our way of communicating involves several elements, such as the emission, conduction and reception of a message. But, in this case, the emitter would be the artist, the medium would be his work and the receiver would be the public that admires him. It is important to emphasize that communication in art is the expression of this sensitive behavior.

On the other hand, it is important to mention that this activity has a positive influence on health, because it is therapeutic, it is an improvement in our memory and the development of skills, reduces stress and anxiety. It has the ability to free the soul, heal and gladden the heart. Art has allowed the human being to explore his inner self, discovering unknown facets of himself.
