Thursday 18/07 We had a kick off event in Scheveningen area! https://www.dezelfspot.nl/event/art-healing-chroma-kick-off/
Why hospitals, clinics and mental health? My dad raised me by his own since I was 8 years old, when my mother passed away and he is a internist doctor, he worked in a hospital in the emergency department and I spent my childhood there around doctors, nurses, medicine, social workers and patients; the anguish is unavoidable. Art saved (and still does since I got rid of medication by self-decision) my life, the opposite of depression is expression right? and when I got deeper into myself colors, frequencies, and healing frequencies in sounds and in color, making art became my transformation journey and transmutation tool.
I invite you to actively participate, become a speaker or an art therapist contribute to a narrative of resilience that transcends dehumanizing judgments.
Mostly my work is about understanding the polarity and my bipolarity , the femenine and masculine aspects of the being; but also tapping into how creative energy and spirituality improves our overall health.
Maybe you are familiar with different symptoms or you live or work with people that present:
Constant mood swings
Sadness (depression)
Sense of loneliness
Anger and anxiety
Going to inhuman hospital centres where the patient is a number not a person.
Whether you are in the waiting room or a patient this project looks to NOT SALE ANY ARTWORK during 3 years, but to bring the complete 33 pieces exhibition to 12 different locations in the field of mental care, clinics and hospitals,if you have a location and contribute with transportation contact me at innovation (at) emellyvelasco -dot- com
You can contribute to the costs of production, framing and documentation of this project.
Art saved (and still does since I got rid of medication by self-decision) my life, the opposite of depression is expression right? and when I got deeper into myself colors, frequencies, and healing frequencies in sounds and in color, making art became my transformation journey and transmutation tool.
I have 33 works of art in 50x60 and 40x50, I selected them, they are depicted metaphorically and therefore all wounds, scars, cuts, strings and groups are part of human life, which goes through life and a healing process.

I spoke to artists, doctors and art therapists to ask how art and creativity can improve your health and wellbeing not only physically but also spiritually, emotionally and mentally, this project is dedicated to my father who is a ER retired doctor.

Me:
I’m an international visual artist since 2014.
Psychiatrist’s patient since 2017.
Public Speaker since 2014.
Single Mother since 2011.
MBA since 2020.
Stroom Den Haag deny my "Haagse Kunstenaar-Title" due not to having enough presence in Den Haag ( mentioning that I did my degrees in México not in The Netherlands - but validated by IDW because of that I can't ask for public cultural funds for this project)
Installation at Gezondheidcentrums.
Still I have faith that we can live in a better version of ourselves by healing our wounds and traumas, by giving colors that bring us peace and frequencies that energetically make us feel stronger and happier.
None of this artwork from the 33 is for sale in the upcoming 3 years, but you can reserve your favorite (with the first instalment) get in touch with me via E-mail.
During 3 years no piece is for sale (meaning can’t be removed from the exhibition)
; your support is very important to continue this journey, is there a waiting list if you want to get one piece in the future, Let overcome fear, anxiety, anger, and depression together.
Love
