WHO WE ARE
About The Bando
Our founder, Nicolas, discovered the profound impact of art during his battle with long COVID. Experiencing daily episodes of fatigue, brain fog, and depression, Nicolas searched for ways to cope and discovered the positive impact of art. By incorporating captivating visuals during these episodes, it eased his anxiety and transported him to tranquility. Intrigued, Nicolas researched the science behind art’s influence on the brain. Motivated to share this discovery, he created a solution to bring therapeutic digital art to those in need, improving lives and promoting well-being.
