Vincent Van Gogh became an artist at the age of 27 and from there his life started to change. Vincent Van Gogh created more than 2,000 artworks, including 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches. One of his most famous artworks include, Starry Night, The Bedroom, and Sunflowers. He was known for his bright colors, thick impasto brush strokes, and the emotional and spiritual state they conveyed. Even though he was a very good artist, he also went through so many problems and complications in his personal life. He suffered from mental illness and went through very hard times that he would always be depressed. Later he decided to use his emotions as an example for his arts, and started designing artworks that were extremely emotional. Sadly, Vincent Van Gogh wasn’t really known at that time. He struggled so much that he was unable to sell his work during his lifetime. But after he passed away, he became so famous that people started to recognize how fascinating his artwork was and now he has become one of the most impactful and greatest artists. Vincent Van Gogh artwork continues to keep inspiring people all over the world.
