About Neurographic Art

It was developed by a Russian psychologist, artist, and architect, Dr. Pavel Piscarev in 2014. It invites us to draw freeform lines on paper, called neurolines. As the line travels across the page, it encourages us to relax. It acts as a form of meditation as the pen creates line and shape. We’re able to disconnect from the things we’re troubled by and focus on the drawing for a few moments. Sometimes the lines cross each other to make recognizable shapes and sometimes they are just bubbles. The idea is to find a reset through the process, and leave all your fear and stress on the paper.

The theory behind Neurographica is based on the scientific study of visual thinking and pattern identification. It’s also based on gestalt therapy and neuro research. Gestalt therapy is a form of therapy often used to treat anxiety and depression.
