Artwork + Philosophy, brushed into one 🎨🖼️
Vincent van Gogh, a towering figure in Western art, offers a legacy that transcends his vibrant paintings. His life and work provide profound lessons that can inspire and guide us in our creative endeavors. Here are some key takeaways from the life of this extraordinary artist: Perseverance Amidst Adversity Van Gogh’s life was fraught with personal struggles, including mental health issues and financial hardships. Despite these challenges, he remained steadfast in his dedication to art. His perseverance exemplifies the power of resilience. He created over 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, many of which were produced in the last two years of his life. Embrace Your Unique Vision Van Gogh’s style was unique and often misunderstood during his lifetime. He chose not to conform to the artistic norms of his era, instead following his own vision. This commitment to authenticity reminds us to embrace our unique perspectives and not be swayed by external opinions. Commit to Continuous Learning Largely self-taught, Van Gogh was always striving to improve his skills. He studied the works of other artists, practiced relentlessly, and experimented with various techniques. His dedication to learning highlights the importance of continuous growth and development in any field. Harness the Power of Passion Van Gogh’s passion for art was evident in his prolific output and the emotional intensity of his work. His passion drove him to create, even in the face of numerous setbacks. This underscores the importance of finding and pursuing what we are passionate about, as it can fuel our creativity and perseverance. Express Your Emotions Van Gogh’s paintings are renowned for their emotional depth and vibrant colors. He used his art to express his inner world, resonating deeply with viewers. This teaches us the value of expressing our emotions and experiences through our creative endeavors. Work Consistently Van Gogh believed in working consistently rather than waiting for inspiration to strike. He once said, “I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.” This approach emphasizes the importance of dedication and hard work in the creative process. In my opinion, Vincent van Gogh’s life and work offer timeless lessons in perseverance, authenticity, continuous learning, passion, emotional expression, and dedication. By embracing these principles, we can enrich our own creative journeys and leave a lasting impact, just as Van Gogh did. #quotes #writing #motivation #paint #journaling #soul

Last year was a very tough for me….
The year that really put me into test.. personally and professionally … so many challenges were given to me and ART made me sane …. Art brings me back to calmness for i have no one to talk to… ART create a safe space for me and a brighter color for me look into rather than focusing on the darkest... (edited) read more
