Aesthetic experiences can arise from the appreciation of human artifacts, such as artworks (e.g., music, poetry, sculpture, visual arts, nature, and the built environment). In the presence of beautiful things, we feel a broad range of emotions, such as fascination, awe, wonder, and admiration. The quality of life is affected by the quality of the aesthetic experience we gain in our daily life (Cahn, 2020).
