| Summary: | This paper explores the ways in which artistic creation and spiritual search interrelate in the life and work of seven Colombian artists who took part at the Laboratory of Art and Spirituality in Bogotá (2022–2023). Based on a hermeneutic analysis of different narrative and reflexive materials produced by the artists during a ten-month period of spiritual and artistic exploration, the first part delineates the artists’ understanding and practice of spirituality in a plural world. The Discussion section investigates the connections between their artistic and spiritual practices, emphasizing their understanding of art as a vehicle for accessing and communicating spiritual insights. Thus, this work aims at contributing both to the study of the shapes spirituality takes today and to the investigation of their relationship to the arts. |
