ABOUT OUR BRAIN AND THE FUNCTIONS OF ARTS & MUSIC
This theory is based on the fact that the brain’s two hemispheres function together but differently.
This first came to light in the 1960s, thanks to the research of psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry.

Our left side of the brain is logical, analytical, and linear.
Our daily obligations require constant logical and linear control. The system wants us to work and to follow very defined rules in order to be integrated into the production and consumption necessities of the same system.
So for survival reasons we mostly live in our left brain.
Our Right side of the brain is creative, intuitive and artistic.
Music and Arts as well as emotions are mainly developed in our right brain side. We need to balance our brain functions, and become more intuitive and creative which will increase our connection to spirituality.
A space to play, learn and create, all day, all night, always

Fine Arts and Digital Arts
Arts have been through history the most impacting influence on world cultures. Through architecture, painting and sculpting as well as cooking and so on… we have expressed who we are through millenniums. Actually what in history we are most proud is our works of art.

Except from Nature, the most amount of beauty is created by art, and beauty is food for soul.
We are very grateful to be conscious of the power of Arts. When we find our art language life evolves in ways we’d never imagine.
Music
Recordings & Performances
Music, in our modern society, has become more influential than ever, in history. Science reports, wellbeing influencers and we the people recognize the necessity and extreme benefits of Music.
I think there are more people playing and listening to music than in all the temples of the world. And Music is spiritual, psychological, mental and physical medicine.
Dance is a wonderful way to improve your physical and mental state. We go dancing to feel the universe in ourselves, to feel the people around us. It is deep connection in ourselves and the collective.
Music is our medicine and our spiritual way to express love, feelings and consciousness.
