Nature, Creativity and Somatic Expression

For me, nature elements and creativity are the perfect match. In my art practice I almost always get inspire by nature. For this specific practice, that I call Epimeric Poem, I collect and gather nature objects, I get a blank paper, and with the sound of music I start the dance of creating an art piece.

This process is very somatic, since it works with the senses. you can feel the textures, you can listen to the sound of dry leaves, you can smell dry petals or foliage, you can do it while testing some tea while you see nature take the form of your free expression. I also add pieces of art i collect, left over from art journal or just paint something with crayons with colors that are calling me. You can watch the process in the video below.

I let my inner child out and play, is a very fun invitation to heal. Somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a patient’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
