Redefining My Art Experience through Meditation



Art has given me an opportunity to learn how to reach a meditative state when expressing creativity on the other hand meditation has given me the confidence and the creative skills to make beautiful pieces of art.

In my childhood, I would spend hours doodling or making something out of piece of a paper. I felt so relaxed and completely immersed while other kids of the same age used to play video games, I was completely absorbed in creative something on paper. This is how art became one of the chosen relaxation practices that I did on regular basis.

No matter how scattered my mind might be at that moment, when I start any kind of work of art, it relaxes my mind and takes me into a meditative state. 

When I sink into the creative process I experience similar stages of feeling connected or oneness with the activity, deep joy or peace, distraction and panic. In mediation I try to seat through difficult emotional states and crazy making thoughts. Art making evokes the same effort from me. And it is blissful!


“Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.”
