WHY DO ARTISTS PAINT THE SEA?

Looking at a horizon that reaches the vastness of the water before you is humbling.  The sea is both inviting and full of curious unknowns. It is a chameleon that plays with the sand and the sky, simultaneously mimicking its colors and providing a harsh contrast. These endless possibilities provide artists with a perfect subject — possibility. Artists paint the sea to teach us of everything from serenity to chaos and the ever-changing movement of our world and minds.

Think of a living room that plays with light neutrals and then consider adding a contemporary sunset painting to the entry-way wall. The painting becomes a breath of fresh air as the pastel hues playoff the cool and warm tones of the neutrals around them. Previously, a painting like this would be used to tell stories of adventures, now it is used to bring light and a welcoming air to a closed interior and lighten your mood.

How Do Vibrant Paintings Affect Your Mood?

Let’s dive into the many benefits that come from having art in your home:

To name a few….

A single piece of art can cater to a game of emotions. For example, a piece of abstract coastal art can bring calm energy into a room while adding a splash of dramatic flair and energizing a slow morning. The right painting can do as much as reduce your cortisol levels and heighten your endorphins simply by just being in your line of sight.

Research scientists and Doctors have conducted countless studies in which the benefits art on the mind and body are analyzed. According to Frontier Psychology, art is directly correlated with psychological well-being. In their words, “Neuro-aesthetics research suggests that pleasure is derived by the interaction between emotion processing in the brain and the relationship of the beholder with the artwork.” (citation needed)

Forget the apple, a painting a day keeps the doctor away! All jokes aside, this research theorized that having an aesthetic experience (otherwise interpreted as being around art and how you respond to art once you are around it) can promote well-being.

I could not think of a better reason to properly take the time to pick artwork that speaks to you directly. In doing so, you will be able to fully profit from all the benefits that art has to offer.

HOW DO VIBRANT COLORS IN A PAINTING RELATE TO US PSYCHOLOGICALLY?

Colors have long been correlated to different moods or emotions. Before we knew the psychological power of them, artists used specific colors to communicate with their audience.

While the way we view colors and how we react to them is subjective, there are still universal meanings behind them. For example, when we think of blue, we immediately relate it to sadness or to a calm and relaxing environment depending on the hue and the rest of the elements in the image. When we think of red, we can be either excited or angry, and so on and so forth…

How can you apply this knowledge to better your home environment? Think of the spaces in your home that you wish could be taller, more illuminated, happier, or cozier. You can alter these rooms with as little as the right painting. A vibrant painting that uses cold tones like blues, greens, and purple can freshen up a room’s vibe when the space is small. While a bold contemporary abstract painting that focuses on warm tones like yellow, red, and orange can brighten up a windowless room.
