Des études en sciences cognitives ont démontré que les émotions seraient le carburant qui alimenterait la créativité. Les émotions positives augmentent la quantité des idées, alors que, les émotions négatives augmentent leur qualité.
Les artistes utilisent leurs états d’âme comme source d’inspiration. On retrouve bien cette idée qui suggère que les émotions alimentent la créativité chez des artistes tel que Van Gogh, Salvator Dali ou encore Chopin, qui présentaient tous des états dépressifs. Ces artistes torturés ont su utiliser leurs émotions négatives pour en faire un génie créatif.
Ainsi, la créativité permet-elle de réguler les émotions ?
Il semble que oui en ce qui concerne les émotions négatives particulièrement. La créativité permet de revenir, pour l’artiste, à un état d’équilibre émotionnel.
La créativité va permettre à l’artiste non pas de refouler ses émotions négatives, mais au contraire, il va en prendre conscience, les assumer, et va même aller jusqu’à les dévoiler.
Le portrait de Dorian Gray ; Oscar Wilde
In English :
Some studies in cognitive science have shown that emotions are creativity drivers. Positive emotions increase the amount of ideas, while negative emotions increase their quality. Artists use their feelings as a source of inspiration. This is particularly true among artists such as Von Gogh, Salvator Dali or Chopin, who have all showed signs of depression. These tortured artists were able to turn their negative emotions into a great creativity.
For example, in the portrait of Dorian Gray Oscar Wilde, the painter, Basil, realizes his best work expressing his unacknowledged fantasies to Dorian Gray. The result is an exceptional portrait.
For those who feel bad, and keeps them dark thoughts, complexes, or sadness, a creative activity like deco, drawing, painting, or music for example can afford to express themselves and to achieve a creative and contemplative state, to assume and to overcome the discomfort.

Thus, creativity allows it to regulate emotions?
It seems particularly true for the negative emotions. Creativity brings the artist back to a state of emotional balance.
This creativity will not take all the negative emotions away, but will make the artist aware of them, and will let him be able to deal with them, and even expose them.
