Starry Night by Vincent VanGogh (above) and reimagined by Alex Ruiz (below)

LOVE THIS.

CHILLS.

I love Ruiz’s piece. OMG I need this in my house.

Racializens, I saw this on my Tumblr dash (thanks, karnythia!) and had to share it.

This is what Alex Ruiz says about his piece:

This is an homage to [Vincent Van Gogh], and to his painting, one of my all time favorites. We see him standing here, looking up at the night sky…probably in awe, as he wondered how he would capture the beauty he saw. As well, this was the view from the sanitarium he was staying at, as it’s well known that the poor guy was quite mentally troubled.

I wanted this piece to be somewhat magical and fantastic, not just a normal night painting. Hence the large moon, large stars, transparent clouds etc., yet keeping a mostly realistic feel to it.

If you see the original painting, you see so much motion…it’s as if he saw the vibration on all the objects, and that he captured the wind!

To see more of Ruiz’s beautifully fantastical work, check it out here.
