Solitude

Most of the time people sit idle by, waiting for an opportunity - waiting for the “right time”. Waiting for these moments is like waiting for snow to fall in a desert, the possibilities are rare, and there would be a 4 to 1 chance it could happen, waiting for a miracle without putting any effort would be a waste of time. It is true that everyone wants to have a happy ending, but why do some have to sit and do nothing? Why not stand up and try? What is holding us back?

Vincent Willem van Gogh, a painter among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. Despite being considered a madman and a failure in his lifetime, his legacy continues to inspire people. Van Gogh exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood genius.                         The artist "where discourses on madness and creativity converge", Van Gogh sees things differently, and with that he created his very own magic. Everybody sees the world differently, everyone has their own imagination, and everyone has a mind of their own, yet some of us are too afraid to speak out our thoughts – too afraid to be rejected by society.
