    Expressionism: 5 exercises to explore emotion through color
    Latest blog post

    Expressionism: 5 exercises to explore emotion through color

    Let color speak for you: expressionism to explore your inner world. Expressionism is much more than an artistic movement: it is an invitation to look inward. Emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this artistic approach moves away from objective representation to focus on what is not seen: emotions, inner intensity and deep sensations. Artists such as Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, Wassily Kandinsky or Emil Nolde used color, line and form as an emotional language. They did not seek to copy reality, but to translate human experience into visceral and vibrant strokes. In this article we propose 5 expressionist exercises to explore your emotions through color, without the need to master the technique. You just need to let yourself go and let the color speak for you. The emotional power of color in art. Color connects with our most intuitive part. Each tone can awaken a different emotion: - Blue: calm or melancholy. - Red: anger, passion or intensity. - Yellow: energy or hope. - Dark tones: restlessness or introspection.
