Vincent Van Gogh always seems to find his way into my artist research, this time his self portraits are what I am inspired by, not so much in his style but more so in regards to how he perceived himself.
Since he struggled so badly with his own mental health, his view and idea of himself was one of indifference, he didn't view his work as any good even though today he is regarded as one of the best artists of all time.
I am always moved by his work especially his self portraits, the fact that he disregarded his own well being but still was able to paint himself with such passion is what gives me strength as an artist.
