A young professional contemporary artist Isha Bawiskar says -

I am inspired by the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh who is my role model because of his beautiful artwork and his struggle. He was a hard-working artist and made approx. 2100 paintings including 860 oil paintings in his life but could not sell a single painting of his own. He was never disappointed and did hard work tell the end of his life. His brushwork was very expressive and can be seen in his portraits, self-portraits landscapes and still-life paintings.
