Echoes of Van Gogh / Ecos de Van Gogh
This work pays tribute to the genius of Vincent van Gogh, a master who transformed the perception of art through his unmistakable style. The fusion of bodypaint and photographic negative allows us to explore the essence of his technique, where pointillist brushstrokes and wavy lines come to life in a human figure that becomes a living canvas. The figure, with the iconic "Starry Night" painted on his back, floats in an artistic paradise that evokes the vibrant palette of dense, pure colors that characterize Van Gogh's work. Each stroke, each surrealistic contrast, reflects the movement and vitality that the artist imprinted on his creations, inviting the viewer to immerse himself in a world where emotion and nature intertwine.
Through this representation, we seek not only to honor his legacy, but also to revive the connection between art and human beings, remembering that, like Van Gogh, we all carry within us a universe of colors and sensations waiting to be expressed.
