Did You Know?
The Starry Night wasn’t actually painted at night! Vincent van Gogh created this masterpiece just before sunrise, capturing the swirling sky as seen from the window of his asylum room in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
Hidden within this digitally hand-drawn word art, you’ll find fascinating facts about both the painting and its troubled but brilliant creator, including words like “beauty,” “isolation,” and “misunderstood,” as well as phrases such as “cut off left ear,” “painted in June of 1889,” and “sold only one painting in his lifetime possibly.”
In total, there are over 65 words and phrases woven into this artwork, each one celebrating the genius and emotion behind The Starry Night and the life of Vincent van Gogh.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
