I see you're looking at "Almond Blossom." What does it make you feel?

This painting was a gift for my brother Theo, to celebrate the birth of his son. Almond trees symbolize new life and hope. I wanted to convey a sense of renewal and optimism.

The contrast was intentional. I wanted the blossoms to pop against the sky, like life emerging from the vastness of the universe.

Yes, I was trying to capture the movement and energy of nature. The way the branches twist and turn, it's like they're reaching out to life.

I've always believed that brushstrokes should convey emotion and movement. They're the heartbeat of the painting.

I wanted to try something different, to express joy and hope instead of turmoil. But yes, my style is always present in the way I see and interpret the world.

That's exactly what I hoped to achieve. A testament to new beginnings, to the beauty and resilience of life.
