The background of the study is based on COVID-19 from March 2020 to May 2023, a period in which anxiety and depression rose by 25% globally. The study explores how painting can serve as a tool for releasing emotions and positively impacting mental health. The study uses qualitative research methods and Feldman's visual analysis theory to analyze paintings related to the epidemic and identify key factors that contribute to emotional relief. The findings suggest that epidemic painting resonates with viewers and helps them release their emotions.
