Light, Darkness and Color in Painting Therapy:
A New Paradigm for Healing

 Summary

This website presents the approach to Painting Therapy of Liane Collot d’Herbois through the laws of Light, Darkness and Color. Founded on a deep understanding of the human being derived from the spiritual scientific principles of Rudolf Steiner, this therapy reveals the direct connection between Light, Darkness and Color and the human being on all levels. It distinguishes itself both from traditional art therapy and anthroposophical artistic therapies, providing a new paradigm for healing that effectively addresses spirit, soul and body.

Working through the “path of incarnation” of the ego (spirit) from above through the path of light in connection with our thinking, in relation to the nerve/sense system, and from below, through the path of darkness connected to our will, in relation to the metabolic system, we create balance and harmony in the middle realm of circulation and breathing, the soul realm of color and feeling. Healing takes place through the activity of the ego (spirit) utilizing the path of consciousness (light) and the path of life (darkness) as the basis for a medical painting therapy for the whole human being, based on universal human principles that work across all cultures.
