About
Dr. Lydia C. Saiz is a pioneering multisensory artist, researcher, and entrepreneur dedicated to exploring the intersection of art, technology, and emotional wellbeing. As the founder of Arbibo, she creates immersive multisensory art experiences that engage sight, touch, and scent, integrating abstract expression, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) to deepen emotional connections with art.
With a doctorate in business management specialising in innovation and entrepreneurship, Dr. Saiz combines scientific research with artistic practice to explore how multisensory art can enhance mindfulness, reduce stress, and foster resilience. Her work is informed by studies in neuroaesthetics, psychology, and emerging technologies, positioning Arbibo as a leader in the fusion of art and extended reality (XR).
Dr. Saiz has conducted workshops and research-backed initiatives demonstrating how abstract art, paired with XR technologies, can enhance mental wellbeing, self-expression, and creativity. Her findings show that engaging multiple senses through textured paintings, scent-infused artwork, and digital interactivity creates a more profound and therapeutic artistic experience.
Through Arbibo, Dr. Saiz continues to push the boundaries of multisensory art, advocating for innovation in creative expression and mental wellness. Her mission is to make art more immersive, inclusive, and emotionally impactful, providing individuals with transformative ways to connect with themselves and the world around them.
