Healing power of Oceanart  Blue Spaces 

 Why  Oceanart can Make us feel calm and relaxed? 

Research  shows that even viewing water and  seascape paintings can lower cortisol levels and activate our body's relaxation response.  Environmental Psychologists have  shown that looking at water and coastal colors  ( deeps blues , turquoise..) slow down our heart rate, thus help clear and calm our mind.  

 We know from working  with anxious clients that guided imagery of  being by the ocean can lead to a state of deep relaxation.  The same is true if we immerse ourself into a coastal painting

 

Observing flowing waves, rivers can serve as a visual anchor that can ground us in the present moment, thus guide an internal meditative process. This can help you steady and calm your mind  and reduce your tendency to worry and ruminate.  Karina Woldt's   seascapes  are designed  as healing mindful artworks to bring the viewer into the movement of the waves thus helping them into a meditative state of flow.  

 Creating rooms with deep blue ocean colors  and ocean related art can tap into the parasympathic nervous system, which promotes a calm relaxed mind and body state. Research has shown that this can actively reduce heart rate too and increase dopamine a feel good hormone. This just like spending time by the ocean benefits our mental health by reducing stress so can surrounding ourselves with art  which connects us to being by the sea.  Karina Woldt's ocean art   focuses on creating healing art that creates that inner calm flow state and  uses a  blue and ocean related color palette. Thus bring the sea into your home and helping you remember  how the waves and beach might make you feel internally.  Karina herself spends many  days by the sea studying  the movement, dynamic and colors of the waves to help her create art that truly captures that sense of depth and motion of the ocean.
