Mood Art Gallery, the first gallery that heals with art therapy, is born

Mood Art Gallery, the first art gallery that intends to treat anxiety and stress with paintings, inspired byart therapy, is born.

It is the idea of 30-year-old Nazareno Bresciani born during the quarantine period as a remedy for anxiety and stress caused by the Covid-19 health emergency. His gallery proposes to use paintings as therapeutic remedies. "I had already taken counseling courses,“ said the creator of the project, ”and I found an effective synthesis between counseling skills and my passion for art during the forced isolation in which I found myself because of the health emergency brought about by the spread of the Coronavirus. And that is how Mood Art Gallery was born."

M.A.G. -Mood Art Gallery can be accessed at www.moodartgallery.it and it is possible to find all infomation about the project and contact experts for advice. “After an interview necessary to frame the personality of the person concerned,” Bresciani pointed out, “we propose some works of art to contemplate: a practice with healing purposes that allows to strengthen states of weakness such as stress, anxiety or mental fatigue. The works can be purchased or even just rented to be returned once the therapeutic cycle is over.”

It is thus an art clinic based on the principles ofart therapy-a discipline that developed in the 1940s in Britain and the United States as a treatment modality for traumatized war veterans. Normally this technique aims to treat the patient by involving him or her in activities such as painting, drawing or clay manipulation; in the method conceived by Mood Art Gallery, however, artwork is used as if it were a therapeutic remedy.

“The period we are living through, deeply marked by the spread of the virus and related restriction measures, exposes all of us to discomforts and discomforts that severely affect our psychophysical balance. It is therefore necessary to resort to all possible remedies to overcome this critical moment. And in this there is no shadow of a doubt that art can make a great contribution,” he concludes.
