I want to talk about the power of expressionist art, because if I had to fit my art style into just one box, I'd lean toward expressionist art . Art means different things to each of us: money, expression, value, color, decor, beauty... I'll tell you what it means to me, the power I believe it has: The First Power of Expressionist Art: Emotion For me, art is emotion . But not in a cliché, "spiritual" sense. When I paint portraits, I don't think, "I feel sad today, let's paint a sad woman." Instead, painting helps me process what I'm feeling—whether it's sadness, happiness, or anything in between. It allows me to embrace those emotions rather than suppress them. Painting in an expressionist way helps me flow with the paint, breaking free from rigid rules and perfectionism. This freedom makes my art feel more authentic and alive. The Second and Most Important (for Me) Power of Expressionist Art: Healing I discovered art as a child. My mom loved painting—mostly with watercolors and colored pencils—and she always kept her materials nearby. My sister and I would join her whenever we felt like creating. As I grew older, I drifted away from painting. Writing and singing became my creative outlets. Eventually, I chose a practical career path and studied Hospitality in Barcelona. It seemed like a safe, sensible option, and I genuinely enjoyed working in hotels, which also gave me the chance to live abroad. But everything changed when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 23. After surgery, I could no longer manage the demands of hotel work. When doctors suggested studying as a way to test my brain's recovery, I pursued Journalism. I loved writing, but after three years, I realized the profession wasn't what I had envisioned. Craving a return to the workforce, I took on various jobs: shop assistant, administrative work at a language academy, and later, a bank position. Then came the devastating news—the tumor had returned. Another surgery followed. While successful, it left me with facial paralysis and partial vision loss in one eye. It was then that I rediscovered painting. My boyfriend, with whom I had recently moved in, transformed our spare room into a makeshift art studio. He gifted me his childhood art supplies, and from that moment, I couldn't stop painting. Expressionist art became my refuge . It was more than a hobby—it was a lifeline. It helped me heal , accept the new version of myself, and rediscover my worth. The Third Power of Expressionist Art: Storytelling Expressionist art is also a form of storytelling . Art helps us make sense of life. For the artist, it provides a way to give shape and color to difficult emotions and experiences. Each piece starts a conversation that the viewer continues with their own interpretations and feelings. Through my paintings, I share my mind. Once a piece is finished, it no longer belongs only to me—it becomes an open conversation with anyone who views it. Conclusion Expressionist art is more than a style—it is a profound way to navigate and express life. Its power lies in its ability to channel raw emotion, facilitate healing, and tell stories. If you've ever felt the urge to create, I encourage you to do so. You might be surprised at how healing and liberating it can be.
