Do you just look at nature and see a green blur?
The outline or composition of a leaf or branching structure of a tree is more powerful to your mind than words.
What we do
We offer awesome, unique, original nature art prints with a calming science twist as a prescription ('Rx') for interior rooms or when the sun goes down.
The loss of a nature-human connection through the indoor cycle can cause a distraction that can lead to disconnection from some of our own roots for wellness - nature!
How?
We put a science formula of the right fractal dimension (non-pharmacologic therapy) not into a bottle but as a fit for purpose nature artwork while using best materials and sustainable practices.
What happens from my eyes?
Depending on your needs a reaction of wakeful relaxation in the brain is encouraged for a micro-restorative refresh.
How will I move forward?
Fracarte's intent with our Art is to present a ‘praeventus' option; to be part of the solution; to chip away at the universal ailment of our time and transition into a brighter outlook.
It is not under stress that we will do our best work, connect and learn. It is from a sense of ease and wellness that we can truly contribute.

Don't wait; your Community needs this art!
Our society has changed drastically that is why we need fit for purpose artworks. We create nature art with a gentle fractal dimension as a prescription for wellness. What additionally contributes to a Salutogenic effect is that 'the arts' involve imagination, aesthetics and meaning providing an inherent motivation for people to engage and we reach further as a specific nature dimension also represents tranquillity and peace. So while it may be true that we are a bit more creative than most, inventive and bold and take some chances when developing new ideas and transcending away from static art - you will never see us give up on what makes us different from the crowd emphasising symmetry, order and balance, not chaos or cluttered forms for our walls.
We're here for you!
One area for investigation we considered is whether particular characteristics of artworks can be identified as suitable in all settings including home, school rooms, offices and healthcare settings. Research has sought to identify these characteristics, drawing attention to the healing dimensions of particular kinds of imagery, such as nature (Ulrich et al. 2003). Read our science research links.
Fracarte as opposed to the traditional focus of studying the causes of illness our belief lies in a Salutogenesis concept which views the origin of health, rather than Pathogenesis' focus on studying the sources of diseases. A broader definition is that this approach fosters feelings of physical and mental well-being for an individual or society; it includes both a state where one feels good about themselves and their life (wellness) as well as being free from illness (health). With increased urbanization (and don’t forget recent lockdowns) - people spending most of their time indoors - this can often lead to negative alterations in lifestyle habits, leading to mind-wellness issues.
To this day Fracarte, will continue to be daring in our desire to introduce a new kind of visual art with a proven science twist to create a meditative effect for an atmosphere of peace and coherence which may facilitate coping, and that the perceived availability of support rather than actual use of supports, is a critical factor in good outcomes for indoor environments but we feel this experience will remain a rarity because of its newness.
But given both the growing evidence base, and the recognised need to embrace new approaches within healthcare, it feels timely to be exploring ways to embed the arts more firmly within public health prevention schemes and within clinical care as fit for purpose. The fundamental precept of a healthy policy should provide collective supportive indoor environments for schools and workspaces and public urban spaces too (using purposeful and beneficial art) - these spaces nip in the bud i.e. prevent problems from developing - as well as creating safe spaces where people are respected, valued and supported unconditionally - this is what promotes growth and optimal living conditions for all community members both now or in the future. This is how society changes lives, one person at a time.
