Into. . .Vincent van Gogh

I will try to explain (as well as I can in English language) why Vincent van Gogh is so inspiring to me.

I like the great harmony of form, texture and colour in his paintings.
But I especially like his graphic work, too. His very sensitive and masterly handling of lines is exciting to me, maybe because I work with (metal ) lines in all of my creations, too.

Vincent tried hard to understand the nature very well, and to figure it in a true way, but also in a new and individual way. The sunflowers he painted again and again are just one example.

I admire the strong will, the diligence and the patience he had.

When I was making the "I´m into…“ object I had the sunflowers, the sun over southern France and Vincent's drawings and life on my mind.

I tried to express radiance, but also missing adaptability with the circle form.
