Van Gogh as a Dressing Inspiration

From the personal library


Since I remember I have been involved in art, that lifestyle where the expression of feelings, ideas and protests through various elements such as painting, music, cooking, stimulating our senses; embellish the environment and awake everyone who has the inner creativity latent. I have been among great works of art, admiring artists, sharing with them. What has led me to study and learn a lot from literature until the maximum body expression such as contemporary dance, theater and more other. But, feeling myself as an artist has never been in my head, however, I declare myself to be faithful lover art, to live the process with the artists and enjoy it to the fullest in each of their steps, beginning the conception of the idea and ending with the exhibition of the work is something so rooted in me, that I have always wanted to look like a work of art, rather than being the inspiring muse, it is being able to carry as a flag each one of the stories of those artists and inspire others with it, something like a walking canvas. This is how "Somos Lienzo" is born, it emerged as a motto to promote and motivate others through art, now it is transformed into a clothing collection, yes, a line of transformable pieces, adjustable to each person, inspired by works of art all times.

The first official sample is dedicated to Van Gogh and his Starry Night, because he was one of the first which I immersed myself to learn, studying it in detail, moving in each of the facets that the artist had, evidently expressed in his brushstrokes, in his many portraits where his evolution and existential crisis are reflected to be different. His eagerness to go against the academics and become a great painter drove him to the degeneration of his conscience, talking about what is acceptably established by society, but he elevated himself and established as one of the greats of the (post) impressionism era. Most of people remember him as The lord of blue and sunflowers; he was born in the town of Groot-Zunder Belgian border near the city of Antwerp, in March 1853,wxactly when a year ago had also been born but died his brother Vincent, hence his name, it is how his life begins with a stigma of sadness, entering the gap of cursed artists. His right hand and constant person was his brother Theo, with whom he had a close relationship documented in letters that reflect the artist's internal search. He also had a love life as intense and romantic as himself, starting with his infatuation with Kee, his cousin, which ended in a very depressing rejection for him. Then, he gave a room to Clasina María Hoornik, prostitute and alcoholic, single mother, who also served as a model for a year.

Van Gogh was a self-taught artist, who managed to rub shoulders and prove to be better than many of those who said they were better at the time. His career was followed by drawings in charcoal: El Sembrador (1881), watercolors: Derribo Auction (1885) and his many oil paintings, where the most striking yellows and blues of his palette stand out. However, his stage of greater production and chromatic printing of his legendary yellows and blues, was in the Sanatorium of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he had 2 rooms for him, he had the freedom to make long routes that served him therapy and inspiration, to paint and thus spent his days, portraying his perception of the reality that surrounded him, in that place where he voluntarily withdrew. Here he developed the particular movement in flora and the setting itself. The field that both nourished him and where he decided to take his life shooting his chest, ignoring the seriousness of what he did, returns to the pension Ravou and dies in his brother's arms days later. Well, beyond that I intend to promote more new information related to the artist, I invite you to enjoy the latest animated film "Loving Vincent", it is really admirable how more than 100 artists reproduce his life in personalized strokes as Van Gogh ones. Also, you can keep on the multimedia exhibition entitled: Van Gogh Alive, The Experience. It is one of the most widespread worldwide exhibitions , it is about digital panels with the works of the artist, there are sectors to learn his techniques with artist teachers and an area for the youngest of the family as well, all organized neatly to guarantee the greatest possible enjoyment of all.

As you can read, it is inevitable to be passionate and talk infinitely about this. Van Gogh is for me, the creator of my favorite blue, that which looks like a dark ocean in the sky of the work "Starry Night" with sunny stars and bright moon. An evening that invites you to change the perspective of things and gives you to understand that everything turns, moves, nothing is fixed. Picture of strong and deep brushstrokes that make you travel to the artist's mind looking for answers, how his life could have been so sad with the genius it was. There is also a majestic song that bears the same name, written by Don Mclean, it is a response to Van Gogh on the part of the singer, telling him that he understands his suffering and maybe many now if they listen and understand. A fragment of the letter says:

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Title: Starry Night
Author: Vincent van Gogh
Date: 1889
Technique: Óleo sobre lienzo
Style: Post impresionism

Personally, from the painter I took his boldness to show how their eyes , mind and soul see and feel the reality. That he was not a madman who cut off an ear for love, he was a human being, cornered by a society that was not ready for him and that may never be at all. His art through my reality inspires a comfortable and striking outfit, full of experimentation of forms and textures, like the paintings of post impressionism, reflected in the transformable blouse, called canvas, of design and confection by me. In this opportunity placed like "halter neck". Casual for the day, with flat sandals, and loose hair. For the night or I find more elegant, pair of heels that add drama to him composing total look worthy of enjoyment. And the attitude of work of art, thanks to the magic that transmits to be able to look like a canvas of such an artist. You always have to dare more, or as the honoree said:

What would life be if we did not have the courage to try new things?
