Gen Z spends more time on screens than any generation before them—but they’re also the first to recognize the toll it takes. Scrolling feeds may numb the mind, but it rarely heals it. That’s why more young people are trading pixels for paint.
With PaintEasy, art becomes accessible, stress-free, and deeply rewarding. Paint by Numbers, Diamond Painting, and Custom Kits are giving Gen Z the tools to disconnect, recharge, and find joy in analog creativity.
🌱 Why Gen Z Turns to Art
-
Digital fatigue 📱 – Heavy screen use is linked to anxiety, poor sleep, and burnout (Twenge et al., 2019, Journal of Abnormal Psychology).
-
Mindful escape 🧘 – Painting encourages focus on the present, reducing racing thoughts (Frontiers in Psychology, 2020).
-
DIY pride 🌟 – Studies show Gen Z values experiences and self-expression over material goods (McKinsey, 2018 Gen Z Report).
-
Community connection 🤝 – Sharing art online builds positive engagement compared to passive scrolling.
