We have seen the suffering in the eyes of our beloved. We have seen it in the psych wards. We've seen it on the street. The Post Trauma Syndrome affects lots of abused people.
​
We want to give a chance to as many people as possible to heal with art therapy. And help them overcome their pain through colour and shape, music, expression, and movement.

Abuses, those against women now on everyone's lips, but not only. Abuse on the weaker in general. Numerous studies show that abuses make no sense because they do not bring happiness even to those who inflict them. Yet they continue to exist. War is also an abuse. Physical, verbal, and psychological abuse. The common denominator is suffering.
The resulting traumas leave indelible traces and mark existence.
It happened to us too. And not just once.
It took years of pharmacological trials to cush cushion the psychological drama, sometimes with bad results which also led to suicide attempts. Countless specialists. Experimental therapies. Nothing seemed to work. But then something miraculous happened. A lucky meeting named ART THERAPY. And the sky suddenly turned blue again. The flowers were once again as colourful and fragrant as they once were. Finally, one could see outside. Out of pain. Out of the wounded and incredulous ego. Savour again that beauty that each of us deserves.

About
Coming Soon
Art therapy has historically developed since the 1940s in Great Britain and the United States as a treatment modality for traumatized war veterans received in psychiatric hospitals. Art therapy education has roots in the teachings of art, creativity, and psychodynamic studies. Artistic works are the means for expressing and communicating the inner world - emotions, fantasies and thoughts - and offer a place to give a visible and shareable form to one's experiences. (Italian Art Therapy)
