BIOPHILIA AND ART

The Keys to a Peace Economy
Keynote Lecture | Koncha Pinós – Luxembourg Prize 2025

After receiving the Luxembourg Prize for Peace and Wellbeing in 2023, Dr. Koncha Pinós, founder of The Wellbeing Planet, returns to Luxembourg in 2025 to deliver a keynote lecture that explores the intersection of nature, beauty, and human consciousness as foundations for a new global paradigm.

“Biophilia and Art” is not merely a project—it is a living research initiative, developed across 14 countries, that reveals how the aesthetic experience of nature and its artistic expression can transform the mind, reduce social stress, and open pathways toward peaceful coexistence.

In collaboration with Colombian artist Duván López, the installation Jungles and Forest has traveled across Europe and the Middle East, creating a space where neuroaesthetics, collective memory, and ecological awareness converge. Through scientific measurements and immersive experience, the project demonstrates how nature-inspired art can awaken restorative emotional states and reconnect us to the sacred dimension of life.

Drawing from biophilic principles and symbolic aesthetics, Koncha Pinós proposes a visionary concept of a peace economy:
– Rooted in care,
– Sustained by beauty,
– Guided by the regeneration of the human-nature bond.

Biophilia and Art is thus an ethical, aesthetic, and political response to the crises of our time.
