EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY
You could say that art is the mirror of our emotions, of our deep, hidden desires. The way each person lays down a line, a colour on paper reflects their inner state. Something very dear to their hearts is being expressed, that words, sometimes worn out, can no longer express.
Often, in order to move forward, we bury so many things inside ourselves that we get “stuck.” Working through art opens up new perceptions of ourselves, new paths. It can be a journey towards oneself, towards one’s own life.
The studio is a place of support through art. Beauty and creation provide support. The encounter between oneself and one’s art renews self-confidence. With the right support, listening to the person’s gestures, one will discover themselves, by themselves. When that person is ready, then big conversations can begin on themes that make sense to each of us in our daily lives.
Expressive therapy is a form of meditation to develop the kind of existence we want. Letting desire arise, letting thoughts sleep so that the Love of you can reveal itself. Put down the past that weighs us down in art.
Expressive therapy encourages you to appropriate new means of expression. They enable you to release your untapped personal potential by integrating artistic and creative tools into your everyday life. Create to free yourself, to speak, to exchange, to dialogue differently, to find yourself again and better with others, particularly through painting.
My desire is the strength of my creativity. The most important things in my life are sensations, colours, images and feelings. Emotions are everywhere. Art is your channel for transformation. Art therapy allows you to touch certain blocks that are difficult to express in words. Art with the self. The self with art.
We combine movement, drawing, poetic dialogue, improvisation and performance to develop the creativity we need to be alive.

‘Anything can be a source of inspiration, anything can be created, anything can be a starting point for self-creation and healing. A dream, a project left in a corner, scraps of paper scribbled down after a long telephone conversation, an object, photos of unforgettable holidays, a note, a love letter, poetry written after a heartbreak, an old family photo… Anything can be a source of inspiration, anything can be created, anything can be a starting point. Inspiring music, a repeated movement, a phrase, a collage, a cry, a sigh, a child, a mother, a family – everything inspires me, transforms me, heals me, when art becomes me’.
A guided process in a safe space where creativity can flourish. The idea is to create from where we are in our lives today and to conclude the process with a ‘mini’ exhibition of works created through presentation and ritual.
I invite you to experience expressive arts. The arts guide the process. The dynamics of play allow you to connect with the creative energy in each person, and then enter into an artistic exploration.
