Philaesthoism
Philaesthoism is an artistic practice that lays stress on infusing art with the beauty and love found in human bonds. It was coined by internationally acclaimed Indian artist, Sasi Krishnan in the early 2000s. As a spokesperson of this practice, Sasi Krishnan has created a number of pieces of art that incorporate this ideology. The Philaesthoism Movement of Art is a movement born out of this ideology, and aims at nurturing love and peace in man's world through art forms that showcase this thought in their composition, palette, theme and other aspects. This movement may be regarded as a plausible solution for the most harrowing predicament that this universe faces today - Lack of Peace. Like Music, Art is a universal language of love that travels beyond socio-political, economic and cultural barriers. The Artist firmly believes that through art that highlights the beauty of love and human bonds, we can usher in a world of peace.
