“I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.”
— Vincent Van Gogh

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when nature looks really beautiful, it can be so overwhelming that it shakes you up inside. Imagine standing on a mountain at sunrise, with colors lighting up the sky. The beauty can make you feel small and unsure, as if you're seeing things in a dream. This feeling can inspire artists, like painters, to create their best work because they are driven by the power and clarity of that moment. However, it can also be a bit scary because it feels like losing control of your usual self. This experience shows how deeply nature can touch us and push us to see and create art in new ways.
