Art is a bridge which links the heart of the world with the human heart. Body, mind and soul ar expressions of a unified spirit which inhabits the universe, and that can become alive and manifest on a transcendent form and brighten in the small things of life. To grasp this Unified Whole is possible from the liberating possibilities that complex thought offers. Since the spiritual work and the challenges of deep psychology are interwined aspects of the same reality, the article undertakes the psychological dimension of art and of beauty. More than referring to the intrinsic nature of the work of art, the article deals with the attitude of mind with which the observer confronts such reality. An analysis is developed here about the access roads to the aesthetic experience and collective unconscious.
