Calming Mood

Whether it's a moment of peaceful solitude amidst the chaos, or taking a break to meditate on our surroundings and ground ourselves, the need to pause and recenter is an integral facet of the human experience. Visual imagery has long gone hand in hand with mindfulness and meditation practices, from Buddhist bhavana meditation across Asia to the development of expressive art therapy in Western medicine. Indeed, in a hectic and changeable world, visual art can transport us from reality and usher us to a moment of calm. 

Artists across all styles and genres have sought to create works which inspire those moments of calm in their viewer, from depictions of cascading natural landscapes and moments of connection with loved ones, to abstract pieces which allow our mind to wander in complete tranquility. Among our current favorites are Jacques Robert's semi-abstract natural imagery, and Arthy Mad's deeply introspective photography. 

So if you're looking to unwind, our experts have curated a selection of artworks which are perfect for you. Discover the whole selection on Artsper today, and find your moment of calm in the chaos.
