"Art is one of the main motivations in my life."
Francesc de Diego found in painting and graphic arts his way of expressing emotions and connecting with his surroundings. It's a medium that allows him to focus on ideas and themes that, for him, deserve special attention.
With more than two decades of activity in which he has created posters, illustrations and paintings, de Diego has held numerous exhibitions and has published work, much of it as an expression of his personal experience with mental health.
Art has the ability to channel people's concerns, hopes, and motivations. This quality makes it a highly recommended activity for taking care of one's emotional and physical well-being.
Why do we need art?
"I get the feeling," explains Francesc, "that someone who is overcoming a mental health problem or another type of problem can benefit greatly from an artistic hobby or even an activity that is taken up as a job, with its schedules and routines that provide a personal benefit."
