Several years ago I was introduced to the art of Neurographica.
This method was developed by psychologist and architect, Pavel Piskerev it is a 'simple and accessible graphical language describing the world.'
Neurographica helps "Balance the mind, inspire creativity, and explore different approaches to problem solving."
"From the first rounding of intersections and angles, there is a sense of recreating wholeness, of softening the edges of harsh thoughts; of merging with our greater intentions and better knowing. Of being whole and letting go of fear, of opening to unlimited possibilities."
The basics of the process:
- Think of your intention or a concern
- Draw random lines (not an even zigzag!)
- Or begin by tracking around a shape - your hand or a leaf.
- Round the intersections - this rounding calms the neurons, reduces tension
- Circles bring harmony
- Observe how your body feels as you draw, as those intersections soften.
- Color - 3 or more colours, color in at least three segments with one color
I took the basic Neurographica class, and enjoy doing both more traditional pieces, and Neurodoodles based on the technique. My teacher Alina invites us to join her in Neuro Vember 2025.
I find this fascinating. It sounds like the process itself is calming, but I wonder if the shapes and colors can also reveal something about how you’re feeling or thinking while you draw.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I like the concept of simplicity and communicating through expressive graphics.
