Art allows a piece of the intangible world like thought, feeling, or emotion to be made tangible. 

Culture Trip explains that art is proven to have a hugely positive impact on the soul. Simply looking at it can completely change a person’s mood for the better. According to studies, increased signs of dopamine appeared in the minds of study participants when they observed artwork and was equated with the sensations experienced when in love or even on drugs! 

It was Michaelangelo who perfectly captured the power an artist has to touch the human heart with these words:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”

This is what artists do: they find the meaning in something and then produce a piece of art that will recreate this sensation within the viewer as well. The connection between what we see and what it causes our minds to feel is strong and artists certainly know how to capitalize on this very fact. 

Surrounded by Your Loved Ones

Why do people tend to keep pictures of their loved ones out to be viewed on a daily basis? 

According to Business Insider, this decision is generally made because of the joy brought on by laying eyes on a photograph of someone we love. It has been discovered that viewing a picture of a person we care about has the power to dispel pain more expediently than just about anything else. This idea was taken a step further in a study that was conducted in which participants were touched with a hot probe and then shown pictures of their loved ones. It may sound brutal, but the findings were extremely insightful. It was found that giving the person who had been burned a picture of a loved one to look at was far a more effective form of consolation than any other diversion offered.
