Art as a mirror of the soul – a shared journey

In the world of high-end art, where numbers often dominate the conversation, I want to raise a different voice. For me, art is not about money, but about people. About their stories, their emotions, their fragility. Art is a mirror of the soul and a source of connection.

Vincent van Gogh once wrote: “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”

That courage, I believe, is an act of love for life and for humanity. And it is precisely that love which becomes tangible in art – in color, in form, in silence.

Three worlds coming together

My work moves between three worlds:

• Art, which touches emotions and holds up a mirror to the soul.

• Audiology, which shows us that hearing is more than just the ears – it is about how we are connected to each other and to the world.

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which helps us find resilience in the storm of thoughts, sounds and emotions.

It is in the meeting of these three worlds that a larger story emerges. Art becomes an experience, an invitation to both listen and see, to accept and to grow.

Mark Rothko put it beautifully: “Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk.”

That unknown world is exactly where art, audiology and ACT converge.

Where ART meets Science

With this vision I am now working on the project Where ART meets Science. A movement that takes shape not only in my studio, but also receives international attention. Six of my works will appear on the cover of ENT & Audiology News, a professional journal read in more than 140 countries. Each artwork tells its own story, yet together they form a larger whole in which art, audiology and psychology reinforce one another.

Moving forward together

Pablo Picasso once said: “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.”

That is what art can do – but also what audiology and ACT can mean together: bringing clarity, creating space to breathe, and reminding us that we are more than our symptoms or limitations.

Van Gogh reminded us: “There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”

That, to me, is the essence. Let us make this journey together – artists, curators, museums, publishers, and everyone who believes that art is a mirror of the soul.

As Rothko said: “A painting is not about an experience. It is an experience.”

And that experience only becomes truly valuable when we live it together.
