Why do we put art on the wall

What does it do?

How do we pick it?

Where do we start?

Where do we go to buy art?

Can l afford it?

If you have no word creating can open up your mind set. free you

As an artist it seems so simple but is it?

What do you think?

1. Defines identity

It signals who you are without words.Abstract = open, emotional, exploratoryPortraits = connection, humanityMinimal = control, clarity

2. Shapes mood

Art changes how a space feels:

• Soft tones → calm, reflective

• Bold colour → energy, stimulation

• Large scale → confidence, presence

3. Creates focus

A room without art often feels unfinished.Art acts as an anchor point—it tells your eye where to land.

4. Triggers thought & emotion

Good art doesn’t just “sit there”—it:

• reminds

• provokes

• comforts

• challenges

• What does it actually do to us?

  Art engages the brain in a way few things do:

  • Activates imagination

  • Reduces stress (especially abstract / nature-based work)

  • Encourages reflection

  • Builds emotional vocabulary

  There’s strong overlap with wellbeing—this is exactly why artists like Susanna Cheshire (Warwickshire-based) focus on expressive, abstract work and creative classes as a mental reset.
