Van Gogh crazy

My interest in Vincent van Gogh began as a child when I saw Café Terrace at Night hanging in the Kröller-Müller Museum. Years later, in 1992, I had it beautifully reproduced by someone in my student house who was attending art school. I saw a business opportunity when I realized that others also wanted such a beautiful painting on their wall.

But the real Van Gogh obsession only started when I began reading his letters. This creative, intense, sensitive, and eccentric Van Gogh described how he was going to become a preacher but decided to follow his dream instead. He became a painter. What an inspiration. The courage Van Gogh had to walk his own path despite physical, mental, and financial obstacles gave me the strength to follow my passion and never give up.
