Can art enhance your life? Here's what I learned from Ali Smith, Tracey Emin, Claudia Winkleman and more

I am literally so over how much stress I'm living with daily life 5 minutes of looking at a painting in person is like a breath of fresh air for me, it's like my mind just calms down and I can focus on the beauty around me . And don't even get me started on how much I need to disconnect from social media, but then again it's so hard to know what to do with myself . I mean, we're constantly being bombarded with info and we just need a break from all that pressure .

I'm also so in love with this idea of art bringing us together museums are like the ultimate safe spaces for me, where I can just hang out and talk about art with others, it's amazing! And you're right, AI is taking over so much creativity, but what about all the things that make us human?

I'm obsessed with this new book "How to Live an Artful Life" , I need to start reading it ASAP . It's like, we don't have to be artists to appreciate art and live an artistic life, it's all about finding joy in the everyday moments .

I'm so obsessed with this book "How to Live an Artful Life" it's like they're speaking my language . I mean, who doesn't need a reminder that art is about taking back control and finding joy in the everyday moments? It's crazy how we've become so used to staring at our screens all day , we forget to actually see the world around us .

I love how they say that artists find potential in everyday things – like a sentence or a tube of paint – it makes me realize I'm not alone in this feeling . And it's so true that art can bring us together, whether it's through museums or just sharing our favorite paintings with friends .

I also appreciate how they're reminding us that creativity is not just about making something new, but also about being present in the moment . It's time to take back our attention and give it to each other, instead of letting AI do all the work .
