Intuitive painting – Bringing feelings and inner voices into picture, word and dialog

Stephan DÖRING and Doris RIEGER-SPITRA

1- “Intuitive painting”. It basically means that we "turn our heads off", perceive our inner voices, feelings and images and let them directly flow into color and form. Expressing feelings in pictures helps to cope with emotionally touching or stressful situations. The non-verbal form of expression opens new ways of self-experience.
