10 Aug Famous Aries Artists
WELCOME to the first part of our exploration into horoscopes and the artists of each sign. First up is Aries.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. This sign is ruled by Mars, the planet named after the Roman god of war. Red is the color that best represents this sign, and their fiery selves.
Being the sign of the ram, Ariens are not to be messed with. Happy, outgoing and playful when at their best, these rams will strike hard & fast if provoked. These personalities are passionate and forward thinking. Aries artists love to express their creativity with their bold and engaged artwork.
With artists like Chris Burden who was shot in the arm as an art performance, Francisco Goya whose intensity is represented throughout his painting career, or Vincent Van Gogh who cut off his ear to send to his lover, Aries Artists are a powerful and intense bunch!
