Description

Artistic and Philosophical Conceptualization - Animism as a Conceptual Foundation: The title Anima refers directly to the Latin concept of soul or life force, a belief that every living being, object or natural element is animated by a spiritual energy. This idea is at the heart of the piece, which invites the viewer to feel this invisible presence rather than rationalize it. The work thus becomes a contemplative allegory, where life is perceived as an omnipresent force, even in the most inanimate elements. - Falling Leaves: In Van Gogh's original version, the leaves represent a natural cycle of death and rebirth. In Anima, this cycle is amplified by a subrealist abstraction, where the leaves become living, almost spiritual entities, floating in a space between the real and the imaginary. - Subrealist Abstraction: By revisiting Van Gogh’s work, Anima moves away from realism to enter a subrealist universe, where forms are deconstructed and reinterpreted. This abstraction allows to transcend the limits of reality and immerse the viewer in a meditative space, where the mind can wander freely. - Homage to Van Gogh: While moving away from faithful representation, Anima remains deeply rooted in the spirit of Van Gogh, capturing his obsession with nature and his quest for transcendence through art. Conclusion: Transcendence and Reinvention Anima is much more than a simple reinterpretation of Van Gogh’s work. It is a profound exploration of animism, duality and coexistence in nature, through a mixed technique that fuses the past and the present. By revisiting The Falling Leaves (Les Alyscamps), this piece invites the viewer to feel the life force that animates all things, while meditating on the tensions and harmonies of existence. The Xanthopsia collection, with its yellow vision and its quest for positivity in the dark, offers a new perspective on Van Gogh’s art, while highlighting the power of art to transcend time and cultural contexts. Anima is an invitation to sit, to feel, and to connect deeply with life, in all its complexity and beauty. tribute to Van Gogh : Falling leaves (Les Alyscamps) see original at: Kröller-Müller Museum format / media / size / speed / editions 3840 x 2160 px / mp4 / 112 MB / 8 fps / 1/1
