what is expressive arts therapy?

We often believe that only a few chosen people, the artists, can express themselves through art. If we look at children, we realize that when they are young they create without worrying about whether or not they have mastered the technique and without fear of how their work will turn out. Creativity flows naturally in them because they need it to build themselves as a person

Art therapy is based on the principle that everyone is creative, Creativity is inherent to us human beings and it’s a very direct way of entering into a relationship with ourselves.

Through multimodal art mediums we are able to bring forward the material of our lives, to find release through creativity, to express old stories in new ways, and activate our vitality by bringing awareness to the resources we have.

EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY consists of activating, facilitating and accompanying the person's creative process with the general objective of improving their well-being. Our training is intermodal, this means that we use various artistic tools to facilitate creative processes, giving a predominant space to the body. We invite people to express themselves through visual expression (painting, sculpture, collage, photography, etc.), musical expression (listening to and free composition of musical pieces), body expression (relaxation, body awareness, dance/free movement, theater), narrative expression (poetry, stories, free writing). The transdisciplinary, that is, moving from one artistic language to another, broadens our gaze and multiplies our meanings.
