Philosophical Approach: Duality and Inner Fire

Philosophically, this piece explores duality as a fundamental principle of existence:

- Creative Fire vs. Destructive Fire: Van Gogh embodied this tension between genius and suffering, where his "inner fire" was as much a source of artistic enlightenment as it was of personal consumption.

- Perceptual Utopia and Dystopia: Xanthopsia (yellow vision) evokes a sensory alteration that metaphorizes the search for positivity in darkness—a utopian idea born from a dysfunctional reality.

- Coexistence of Opposites: The work highlights how harmony and tension, stability and chaos, can coexist, reflecting the ambivalent nature of the human experience.

Contemporary Implications

- Art and Technology: The use of digital technology is not just a tool; It becomes an extension of artistic thought, allowing immersion in the classical work through new perspectives (reinterpretation based on the painting's colorimetry, animations, chromatic interactions).

- Transhistorical Dialogue: This reinterpretation illustrates how art can transcend time without becoming confined by it—Van Gogh is updated without being distorted, highlighting the timeless resonance of his questions.

Philosophical and Artistic Synthesis

"Allusion to the Inner Fire" embodies a metaphysics of creation where the inner fire—symbolizing both vital impulse and fragility—becomes the heart of a reflection on art as an alchemy of emotions.

- Aesthetically: It fuses heritage and innovation, proving that abstraction can be a vehicle for empathy and contemplation.

- Conceptually: It questions the permeability of the boundaries between reality and imagination, between reason and madness, between classicism and modernity. This work, like the Xanthopsia collection, invites a transformed vision of the world—where yellow is not just a color, but a window onto hope and resilience. It celebrates art’s capacity to be a distorting yet truthful mirror of the ever-changing human soul.
