LIMES Art Collection
Art, soul or psyche in ancient Greek are terms that are directly connected with our emotional self or being. Art can have a positive effect on mental illnesses. We offer our guests, who seek protection and recovery in our clinics for a defined period of time, a healing environment with access to art. The LIMES Castle Clinics are equipped with high-quality works of art by various artists. Interested employees and guests of the LIMES Schlosskliniken thus have the opportunity to engage with the works of art in the immediate vicinity in the individual houses. The LIMES Art Collection focuses on color-intensive, contemporary works that radiate vitality and beauty. The LIMES collection now includes more than 200 works by various international artists.
The artist, Merino Pacheco (1958), who comes from Chile and lives in Germany, has donated some of his works to the LIMES Castle Clinics. Also, many of his works have been created in the LIMES studios. His works reflect the free and spontaneous way of life of his person, his country and his culture. “In my art, I try to have my works radiate joy and humor…. And where they are, create their own atmosphere of beauty and color.” – Merino Pacheco
