Psychic painting
Psychic painting is, most notably according to Spiritism, a manifestation of mediumship in which a spirit, through a medium, is expressed through paintings or drawings. The psychic painting is part of the larger movement named Spiritualist art.
Allan Kardec (1861) defines mediums as painters or drafters, as those who paint or draw under the influence of the Spirits.[1]
The medium would often go into a trance, during which it was believed that he or she would channel the spirit who would then author the artwork.[2]
In Brazil, among the various alleged mediums that stand out in this particular area, the names of Luiz Antonio Gasparetto, José Medrado, Marilusa Moreira Vasconcelos and Florêncio Anton, among others.
