ART INDEX

Gurugram-based visual artist Shruti Vij has shared a few paintings with www.lifeandmore.in which she worked on during Covid-19 with limited art supplies. “What is the one thing that never fails to soothe the mind and body during a calamity? It’s not hard to guess. Of course Art. It has once again emerged as a healer and also as a weapon to spread awareness about corona virus that has been causing illness and death across the world. Art therapy can be used as a complement to traditional mental health treatment. The aim is to manage behaviours, process feelings, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem. Self-discovery: Creating art can help you acknowledge and recognise feelings that have been lurking in your subconscious,” says Vij.
