A plein air session of intuitive aesthetics for painters

November 2020

This unique online plein air session was designed for artists looking for new creative self-expression. During it, we tested the method of creating intuitive aesthetics – a means to create a picture of authentic self-expression, stepping out of creative stereotypes. In the plein air session, we delved into the changes taking place in the art environment, creative psychology and discoveries in neuroscience, the essence of artistic images, creative stereotypes, and authentic self-expression. We listened to lectures on the new art direction of metamodernism and analyzed the personalities of artists and the connection between their life and work. We also discovered expressions of body feeling and creative state, a new concept of artistic impact and positivity.

The project was funded by the Lithuanian Culture Council.
