I honestly can’t stop staring. First of all, outer space is front and center. And anything with starry nights will leave me spellbound. Freelance concept artist and illustrator Alex Ruiz likes to dwell on things that draw his heart and mind into a creative frenzy, and he definitely knows how to conjure up some magical moments for us to stare at. This image is an homage to Vincent Van Gogh’s painting also named Starry Night, but with his own twist of how he imagined Van Gogh could have lived in that moment. It really is a gift to Van Gogh because it allows him to be in a space that probably would have brought him joy. The magic is truly abound in this piece, and so many of Alex’s other creations. Take a look at his work site, ConceptMonster, and his deviantART page to see just how gorgeous his mind really is. WOW!!!
