The distorted features and swirling brushstrokes convey a sense of inner turmoil, mirroring Van Gogh’s well-documented battles with mental health and emotional instability. The choice of colors, dominated by vivid reds and deep blacks, intensifies the emotional impact of the artwork, reflecting the tumultuous emotions that both artists grappled with.
