Art is a motor of psychic processes that can help shaping traumatic pain, while becoming a community agent that gives form and makes visible the absence, disappearance and mourning and becomes intangible heritage of undoubted value. The article will focus on: analyzing how creative processes can be a vehicle for elaboration and restoration, from a psychological and neuroscientific point of view; addressing artistic and visual work -specially comic strip- in the traumatic memory, arising from interpersonal and social conflicts, which can be considered as exemplifying practices.
