My artwork was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer and Gustav Klimt. Seeing their artworks at a young age, ‘Starry Night’, ‘Girl With A Pearl Earring’ and ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer’, encouraged me to begin painting. Each artwork has a special aspect that interests me. The glance of the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ captivated me, giving a sensation of being pulled into the work. The shapes and colours from ‘Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer 1’ show the unique creativity of the artist. Then ‘Starry Night’ conveys the emotion of the artist in a way that remains unique and personal to this day. Art has become an important aspect of my life.
