The article explores how the Korean concepts of jeong (social connectedness) and haan (disconnection) influence creativity, especially in the context of Vincent van Gogh's life and art. It suggests that Van Gogh's self-mutilation may be linked to these concepts, reflecting his oscillating feelings of connection and isolation. Furthermore, it introduces the brain opioid theory of creativity, which posits that neuropeptides play a significant role in experiencing flow states essential for artistic expression, thereby revealing complex neurological networks that underpin creativity and social relationships.
Van Gogh's self-mutilation reflects a complex relationship with the Korean concepts of jeong and haan, illustrating how social connectedness and disconnection can influence creativity.
The brain opioid theory of creativity suggests a connection between social bonding and euphoric states, hinting at deeper neurological mechanisms behind artistic expression.
