Description

My approach, embodied by the work "Free Dream in a Few Points," is a hermeneutic reactivation of Van Gogh's work. More than a tribute, I propose a process-based artwork that becomes a philosophical device, a meditation on perception and creation in the age of hybrid digital technology. The art object recedes in favor of an active dialogic process. The heart of the project is a multi-layered conversation. On the one hand, with the viewer, invited to introspection through visual and emotional "points of connection," thus becoming a co-creator of meaning. On the other hand, it is an anachronistic dialogue with Van Gogh, where my subrealist abstraction does not deny his figuration but probes his "infra-representation": the pure energy and emotion that underlie the line. The hybrid palimpsest method materializes this visual archaeology. Upon the foundation of Van Gogh's work, I apply a gestural and physical response to the acrylic. This layer is then photographed and digitized, becoming the basis for a contemplative reinterpretation: a minimalist, frame-by-frame digital animation. This "digital meditation" translates bodily gesture into a temporal flow, embodying the duality between the tangible and the virtual, body and mind. The "Xanthopsia" collection is the conceptual filter of this approach. Echoing Van Gogh's potential "yellow vision," it symbolizes an altered perception which, far from being a flaw, reveals a deeper truth. It is the capacity to find light in melancholy, to transform suffering into beauty. This principle justifies the coexistence of Van Gogh's original layer and my reinterpretation: two visions that do not oppose each other but create a tense harmony, generating meaning. In conclusion, this project does not aim to modernize a classic, but to slow down our gaze. The animation acts as a temporal magnifying glass, deconstructing the creative act to reveal its essence. By transforming a static image into a meditative flow, I demonstrate that the power of a work can migrate across mediums and eras. The artwork becomes a trans-temporal bridge, connecting today's viewer to the act of creation in its most universal form: an ongoing dialogue between the visible world and the infinite landscapes of inner experience.
