I have already mentioned my role models that are alive and doing work now. But I look up to a very famous artist, Vincent van Gogh. His work in general is just so beautiful. His style is just so bold and purposeful, I look up to him and his so much. As designers, this reminds us of the power that color can have on people, it helps evoke feeling and create depth in our work.
The way he uses the colors and how he makes his strokes. They are all purposeful and have meaning. He effectively creates a sense of energy and movement in his paintings. Some of my favorites are his iconic Starry Night and Sunflowers. They both remind me of what I want I want in my designs. I look up to him and his work and respect him as a designer. His work offers a wealth of inspiration for the design world.
In conclusion, this shows that you can look up to anyone. No matter how old, or if they are even alive. And it’s not just me, I know others also look up to him. His art continues to inspire designers to approach their work with passion, authenticity, and a willingness to experiment. As long as you look up to them and their work, they are a role model for you. Even if they are young as long as you respect them as a designer and they inspire you. As long as you admire them, they can be a role model.
