When you stare at art our brain is stimulated just like when we fall in love. How fun is that! Art actually increases our level of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that aids in controlling the brains rewards and pleasure centers. Art enables us to look within and listen to ourselves, realize who we are and what we care about. When we relate to art we are ultimately connecting with our inner selves. It increases our self-awareness, and also allows us to be open to new ideas and greater adventure. Art is a bringing together of our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and our outer realities and experiences. Remember when you fill your home with art you fill your home with love.
