Snake

A tortured, solitary genius obsessed with his craft above all.

Van Gogh was profoundly introverted, socially isolated, and deeply meticulous about his artistic vision — producing over 2,000 works in near-total obscurity during his lifetime. He recoiled from public life, struggled with intense inner turmoil, and poured every ounce of himself into his painting with obsessive, almost self-destructive focus. His correspondence with Theo reveals a man of sharp, penetrating intelligence who was perpetually misunderstood by those around him — the quintessential snake personality.
