" While studying van Gogh's painting, I fell in love with its extraordinary simplicity and concentration !

He knew exactly how to convey all the energy of nature within the same stroke, shape, substance or
color, daringly distorting reality in order to welcome the imaginary. Van Gogh looked at the sky and saw
a coloured rhythm that no one had noticed before. His blue deformed the sky, creating yet another
which was to become that of millions of people. Van Gogh made me aware that willpower is perhaps
even mightier and more fertile than talent.".
