Experiencing Interruptions?

The Painter

“The Painter” looks at how a person’s emotional turmoil is deeply intertwined with their surroundings.
It chronicles the struggle a relationship has, that at times could be one of mutual admiration but also one of mutual neglect. Similar to a twin, an inseparable part of the artist that serves as a constant reminder of internal processes.
Van Gogh's brushstrokes were said to capture his inner world and his internal dialogue of repressed emotion. The film and featured music further illuminates this journey, highlighting how art can be a cathartic outlet when facing difficult times.
Both the visuals and audio are saturated with emotion.
