Artist Quote – Vincent Van Gogh
“I would rather die of passion than of boredom”
– Vincent Van Gogh
This is a phrase which I connect with with my everyday life. Most people when they get bored just sit on their phone, browse through the TV rubbish, or just twiddle their thumbs. But what I do in my spare time when I get bored, I’m more likely to start making artwork, to try a new idea, or to get an idea out my mind to bring it to life. When I get bored, I make art, a trait which even surprises me.
