Abstract

In the modern world, mental health issues is a powerful form of visual representation that can be conveyed through art. This research looks at how artists employ the principles of color theory to express intricate feelings and experiences. The work analyzes particular case studies through the lens of psychological color perception and semiotics and shows the systematic association of certain rational arrangements and color selections with emotions like anxiety, depression, and joy. The findings demonstrate how the identified chromatic-emotional bonds emphasize the role of color as a symbolic and emotive medium in the articulation of internal states which enhances the ability of visual art to articulate mental health issues.
