You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that color can help influence our mental wellbeing. While dark colors, like blue, black, and gray, are often equated with sadness and depression, bright colors like yellow and orange can promote happiness and optimism.

Known as chromotherapy, color therapy is based on the idea that color can help treat physical or mental health. The following artists might just inspire you to take a positive step forward!

Painted Mary

Known for her brightly colored paintings, prints, and textiles, Mary Finlayson (aka @painted_mary) will inspire you to take a more maximalist approach to interior design.

Originally from Vancouver, B.C., Finlayson earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Queen’s University, a Graduate Degree in Art Therapy from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, as well an Arts Education Degree from the University of British Columbia—so you know her work is well balanced. A spoonful of sugar, others might say.

Shawna X

Shawna X’s art will have your head spinning with colors. Mostly digital, her art also spans spatial and motion spaces, tackling subjects like cultural identity, the modern creative process, and social stereotypes.

But while her subject matter might be loaded, the art itself presents a psychedelic-like reality, filled with bright, neon colors that demand your attention.

Laci Jordan

Here to empower you, Laci Jordan’s digital art is very much in your face. Focused on powerful women of color, Jordan promotes cultural diversity through her work.

“I’m making the stuff you don’t see by the person you usually don’t see,” she writes on her website. Promoting visibility also means using bold color choices. Trust us, this is just the kind of content your feed craves.

Italian sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi is known for his awe-inspiring sculptures of figures and edifices meticulously crafted from wire mesh. Playing with the transparency of mesh allows him to create ghost-like structures that are featured in public spaces, archaeological contexts, contemporary art, and music festivals and group shows.

Cited by Forbes among the 30 most influential European artists under 30, his installations include the restoration of the Basilica paleocristiana of Siponto – a unique convergence between contemporary art and archaeology. With this installation, he reimagined the architectural remains of the 13th-century chapel. 

“I see in wire mesh poetics the depiction of a mental projection or, when related to history, the representation of what used to exist but is no longer there,” Tresoldi explained in an interview with Designboom. “Through transparency, I’m also able to keep a direct link with the environment and to establish a new kind of immersive experience for visitors.”

“I deeply feel the charm of places and I recognize their expressive potential,” he stressed. “My main interest is the relationship between the different elements of the landscape and how contemporary languages dialogue with each other, building its emotional structure. I always spend the right time studying and understanding the characteristics of the site, which become constituent parts of the work.”

His experimentations with wire mesh are as stunning as they are thought-provoking. Take a look for yourself:
