Van Donna = Van Gogh + Madonna. Both are the artist’s personal heroes and inspiration.
Van Donna counts in celebrity fans like Prince Harry and Ringo Starr who picked “All You Need Is Love” as his favourite artwork from the gallery. Top Warhol, Banksy Rothko collectors, global top 500 CEO’s, Royal Families and Heads Of State as well as many celebrities are adding Van Donna artworks to their collections.
