THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ART
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ART

The psychology of art and aesthetics is the study of the perception and experience of
its theories, it’s link between cultural and traditional aspects, the actual design piece and
process, and the overall impact of people and environment. Art is a human phenomenon,
and therefore aesthetics is fundamentally a psychological process.
In this issue, Covered explores this rather interesting concept that is very much adapted
through multiple functional elements by Aya Charife, a Lebanese multi award winning
interior architect, artist and jewelry designer residing in Dubai. Her love for competitions
gives her a sense of target and binds her with other creatives from the region and globally,
while setting to find a solution to a problem and communicating through all languages of
the world.
Starting off as hobbies and dedicated explorations of this passionate artistic field, it
eventually led her to discovering each world in depth. As an interior architect, she found
a sustainable, conceptual, therapeutical, and a relationship to the human occupying that
space. As an artist, it was about the connection between her dreams and the subconscious
mind delivering a new vision that touches the psychology of the viewer. And as a jewelry
designer, it was about wearing a versatile organic Arabesque mix of a piece of art that
could bring both personality and timeless bond to the jewels.
There is so much more to say about this powerfully talented artist and designer as we sit
down to understand her complex yet versatile world which she earnestly shares with us.
