To be as a process

These days I am finishing to arrange a space in which to receive people who wish to face a journey of personal growth and / or professional through the artistic medium. Right now they are painting the supports for the sculptures, and by mounting the tables. Artistic path is a new thing, although has precedents noteworthy in all ages, certainly not called that, but there’s always been something similar and always will be. How does the artistic path? Who you should contact an art therapist?

The art itself is a language, has rules, a grammar, syntax, there are those who then uses the language just to communicate and those who write novels, poems, essays, literary works, even doodles and profanity. But literacy is for everyone. With art it is said things that would not otherwise be revealed, content that does not communicate with words, as well as for other forms of beauty that go beyond the word. To make a work of art, a work, you embark on a journey, a very complex journey, full of dark places, valleys, mountains, highlights, risks, everything that involves a trip, and also all that even you believe may exist, the artistic journey shows us something we do not know. The journey in art is a process, something in the making, is not the work, it is not the result, but the journey itself. We are all used to define us according to the physical component, are high, low, I have 30 years, or depending on your tastes, I like this, that’s horrible, I love the sea, I hate the lake, or according to the profession. This last definition is of course perhaps the most sought because there with a sense of identity. But define ourselves with something static it is dangerous, like a relapsing disease, devious, insidious but not deadly, the kind that you are not bad but good either. The risk of self definition or worse let us define in relation to a static concept leads to the consequence of a difficulty in the growth, a difficulty to change.

Through a growth path with the art therapist, we understand what an artistic process, and you get closer to our deep and authentic nature, we are beings in the making and we can finally reclaim our identities experiencing itself as a process. Order not to fall into yet mental trap of what we believe to be changed, but in reality we are as before, we need to learn a new language. It will be with a pencil, with a brush and with the earth that we leave for this trip. The half? Discover themselves and their potential.
