HOMEOPATHY IN ART
Homeopathic approaches to art, wherein natural pigments are offset
with painting media from industrial sources, could be interpreted as
an alchemical approach to art. Homeopathy is considered as an aspect
of the healing arts. Mixed media painting could be construed as a form
of homeopathic art.
