Starry Night


The Starry Night of Vincent Van Gogh is an artwork that I have always like for as long as I can remember. I don’t remember exactly the firs time I saw it, but I think it was when I was twelve years old.
When I was almost nine years old, I started to get very interested I the art world, specifically painting, I wanted to do classes to learn how to paint, so I told my mom and she loved the idea, I ended up doing classes for almost six years, and it was in the middle of that time that I sow this painting and immediately it capture my attention. I love the way the sky moves, almost as if were real, but at the same time knowing that that sky could never be real, it’s a perfect sky in another world. The remarks of the stars and the moon also are very interesting, because it gives light to the painting, making the illusion that is a very bright night, like day light. The other interesting element is the tree, at firs I didn’t like it, I thought that it cover too much of the painting, but then I realise that it is crucial to the painting. To me it represents the feeling of wanting to reach for the stars, to feel that you can whet there and touch that beautiful sky.
For all of those things is why I find this painting so interesting, and why I like it so much.

I like Vincent Van Gogh too. His brushstroke technique is unique and he give movement to a static paints.
