It is not just a feast to the senses, it can touch deeper, deep into the heart. Read here!
Something with such muted colors makes me desire to breathe in those colors because I felt that my chest was too tight. They act as a balm to the soul. Looking at a pastel work the world crawls. It is as though all the colours are saying you it is ok to feel. No rush, no demands, just peace. It is the kind of peace you can get in your bones, deep within you.
Pastel art is in the sense that it is able to speak only the language of the heart. The tints are weak, nearly whiskey. A pink that says “you are loved.” A blue which will bring some silent quiet. And a green that is earth that harmonizes you, and puts you closer to the ground you stand on. It’s not loud. It doesn’t insist. But it is able to still the inner noise, the inner noise.
By gazing on these paintings you find yourself being asked by the paintings to cease–to simply breathe. The soothing colors will manage to relieve you of the burden on your shoulders and you will be able to make the room where under the influence of positive thoughts will be able to thrive. As though the very art of itself would furnish some sort of a soothing influence, of opening the doors of the dark side of your heart.
Next time then, when you are in a heavy hearted mood, or your head is tumbled-up, wrap yourself around in pastels. Let them work their magic. Let the calmness take its way over you and slowly, step by step, make yourself come back to positivity.
