THE BOOK BEHIND THE ZAH20 PROJECT
The methods of the ZAH20 project are building on the book "Van Gogh The Alchemist". This book is a fusion of van Gogh's life, work and ten years of experimentation, how you can turn negative emotions and pain into significance and empowerment of your art. This book has opened van Gogh’s wisdom for the artists to find life-changing ingredients, to transform negativity and stress into energy and self-esteem.
