“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.”
– Henry Ward Beecher

What is Ekphrastic Art? Why is Ekphrastic Art important to your remote team?

Ekphrastic Art is the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the action of a work of art to amplify and expand its meaning. It is beneficial for remote work environments because it promotes cohesiveness, illuminates and sparks new ways of thinking, and reveals a wonder quotient, something that you never thought of before.

Let’s work together through Ekphrastic Art to…

• Eliminate monotony

• Differentiate yourself from competitors.

• Craft meaningful and resonant messages.

• Expect measured results from doing business unusual.

• Facilitate deeper conversations to build capacity.

• Discover new ways that may have been obscured by mainstream approaches.

What if your team could learn how each other arrives at their way of thinking? Each member knows the other’s talent, but seldom do they know how their other team members perceive the art of life.

Writing and sharing about what is in and beyond images helps team members learn about each other’s thought processes. This method increases awareness of stakeholders’ expectations. Much like an actor reading a script for the first time, the playwright only gives us the text. It is the actor’s job to fill in the blanks and figure out what happened before and what may happen in the future.
