Swati Ghosh, a prominent artist from INDIA, strives to offer a positive message of peace and positivity through her artworks in a world torn apart by war, tension, anxiety, and depression.

She believes that painting as an art form helps to decrease tension, worry, and depression, which is critical given the world’s current predicament.

According to a study, one out of every seven Indians suffers from a mental disease. The majority of these occurrences are linked to anxiety and despair. The number of Indians suffering from mental illness is estimated to be over 200 million, accounting for 14.3 per cent of the country’s total population. The situation is so dire that 4.6 crore individuals suffer from depression, and 4.5 crore suffer from anxiety. The situation is similar all across the world.

Swati Ghosh, whose artwork Nirvana was recently awarded third place at the famous ‘Tamara Art Award’ in Rome, Italy, feels that ‘Art Therapy’ helps decrease stress and despair, and increase awareness.

Mindfulness refers to your emotions, and your emotions have a direct impact on your mental stability and thought processes. A high level of mindfulness not only improves our approach but also makes us happy. According to research, enhanced mindfulness can help lower mental disorders by 50%.

Anxiety is primarily caused by negativity within a person, but it can also be caused by the surrounding environment in a person’s life. Painting/Art naturally drives away negativity by activating the creative aspect of the human brain. According to a study conducted in America in 2016, painting is an art form that has always been beneficial in sustaining mental serenity.

Swati’s artworks “Nirvana,” “Freedom and Peace,” “Power of Energy,” and “Saint,” among others, have garnered several awards throughout the world, including her nomination as a cultural ambassador by the International Council Of Museums (ICOM-ASPAC) in South Korea.
