Abstract

The article discusses a study conducted by researchers at the University of Navarra, focusing on the aesthetic experience of the sublime in contemporary art among highly sensitive individuals. The research highlights how contemporary art museums serve as vital environments for aesthetic education, emphasizing the emotional and cognitive connections viewers establish with art pieces. Utilizing works by Mark Rothko and Fernando Maselli, the study developed an evaluation instrument that considers perception, emotion, cognition, and spirituality. Findings indicate that highly sensitive individuals experience contemporary art intensely, often losing their sense of time and space during contemplation. [Extracted from the article]
