Creating art has always been a deeply personal journey for me. As an artist who battles chronic pain and PTSD, I have found solace in the fluid and expressive nature of abstract expressionism. This art form allows me to channel my emotions onto the canvas, turning pain into something beautiful and meaningful.
For those interested in exploring abstract expressionism as a therapeutic practice, here are a few tips:
•Embrace Imperfection: Don't aim for perfection. Let your emotions guide your brush strokes.
•Experiment with Colors: Use colors that resonate with your current mood or desired emotional state.
•Create Regularly: Make art a regular part of your routine to continuously process and express your emotions.
