Where Beauty Meets Art: How Our Brains Connect with Beauty and How That Impacts Creativity Today
We currently live in the time where beauty trends and obsessions about your own appearances dictate our lives. In the world that overflows with information, beauty still stops us in our tracks. Whether it is a curve of the rivers, delicate and centuries old art pieces, or the rhythmic melodies, beauty has a peculiar power over the human brain. It is not just for pleasure, but inspiration as well. Neuroscience suggests that when we encounter something beautiful, our brains activate the networks that are linked with pleasure, and emotional memory. That’s why we are able to connect deeply with different art pieces. They can remind us of the beauty of life and previous experiences with it. It is not merely a visual appeal, but a deeply emotional response that extends to our senses, including new ideas and creativity. I would argue that beauty can act as a catalyst as it pushes us forwards to create and improve. It catches our attention, and our minds begin to play the different variations that can connect to other experiences, or curiosity of how we could integrate this specific feeling in our own work.
Beauty can also be connected to human beauty too. Beauty is not just a cultural structure, it is a biological event. Psychical human beauty can also have a strong effect on our systems. Studies have shown that the symmetry, skin clarity, and proportion can unconsciously signal to us of health and vitality. Today, the beauty clinics stand at the intersection of biology and culture, promising to enhance, preserve and create the features our brains are wired to notice. From subtle skincare treatments to complicated surgical transformations, the clinics are there to enhance your confidence.
However, there is a certain magic in the way your beauty can be expressed. It is not always through bold colour, or grand gestures. It can be whispered through the quiet elegance of detail. This is the ethos that underpins our creative collaboration with Lisa Thompson Aesthetics in which the artistry, creativity and care intertwines. Lisa has opened the doors of her beauty clinic for us to show a special insight of her artistic view and the philosophy that beauty is a subtle and layered experience. Lisa Thompson is a lot more than a beauty and cosmetics specialist, she is an artisan in her own right. With a career built on empathy, precision, care and innate sense of style, Lisa has cultivated a loyal following of clients who come to her not only for self-improvements and transformation, but for the personal connection that she brings to every appointment.
Located in 38A Drumcondra Road Dublin 9, D02P8AO, Lisa Thompson Aesthetics offers a curated range of cosmetics and skincare treatments, skilfully designed to enhance your natural beauty. The clinic offers a welcoming atmosphere and a place where science meets artistry.
Lisa’s work is guided by a belief that beauty should feel effortless. She approaches each treatment with an artistic eye and perfectionist hand, which ensures the most perfect results for Lisa’s clients.
Beauty, in all its forms whether it is natural, enhanced and even unconventional, continues to feed into the human imagination. Artists, designers and innovators have always been drawn to it. Whether it is classical proportions of a sculpture, the raw energy of personal street style, or even a careful architecture of a cosmetic procedure. Beauty clinics such as Lisa Thompson Aesthetics, are not just sites of transformation. It penetrates us deeper; they become workshops where science, and artistry collide.
If we treat beauty as both; emotional and creative boost, the conversation can move beyond vanity. It develops into the ideas of how we harness the natural spark in our brains when we find something beautiful, and we channel it into something original and personal. In the end, the power of beauty lies in not just admiration, but in what and who it inspires us to create.
