My project "The Three Paths" constitutes a transcultural and transhistorical reinvention of Van Gogh's work, merging Buddhist philosophy, Abstract Expressionism, and hybrid technologies. Here is an in-depth conceptual synthesis:

-------------------------

1. Technical Innovation: Subrealist Hybridity

- Analog-Digital Palimpsest:

- The acrylic-painted canvas (carnal gesture) is photographed, then manually cropped, preserving the irregularity of the strokes—a metaphor for the imperfections of the spiritual path.

- The digital painting animation sublimates the material: the brushstrokes become floating particles, evoking samsara (the cycle of rebirth).

- Digital Subrealism: A style situated between abstraction and figuration. Van Gogh's flowers dissolve into chromatic fluxes (dominantly xanthopsic yellow), creating a dematerialized sensory memory.

2. Digital Context: Re-enchantment through Hybridity

- Algorithmic Contemplation: Slow animation imposes a meditative rhythm in contrast to the frenetic digital flow. Each image is a "present moment" (Buddhism) in the face of information overload.

- Archaeology of Gestures: The manual clipping of the digitized layer becomes a memorial ritual, preserving the aura of the original work while regenerating it.

- Hybrid Subculture: The work is part of post-internet art, where the physical and the virtual co-create a new sacredness: the digital file as a contemporary relic.

-------------------------

3. Symbolic Depth: Van Gogh Reinterpreted

- Transcended Suffering: Van Gogh's torments enter into dialogue with the suffering of the "three kingdoms." Xanthopsia becomes an allegory of his quest for light in darkness.

- Cosmic Vibrations: Van Gogh's agitated strokes, animated by waves of light, embody vital energy (qi) and awakening (bodhi).

- Garden as Mandala: The original floral composition is reorganized into a meditative diagram, where each flower-pixel guides the gaze toward the empty center (śūnyatā).

-------------------------

Conclusion: A Neo-Contemplative Manifesto

My work goes beyond homage to become a protocol of presence:

> "By hybridizing ancestral gestures and digital painting, I create a liminal space where contemplation inactivates time. The viewer is initiated into the Three Paths through sensory immersion: seeing (canvas/photography), meditating (animation), acting (interpretation). Xanthopsia, a utopian filter, reveals that Van Gogh's 'yellow vision' was already a premonition of light in darkness ."

This reinterpretation proves that masterpieces are living organisms, mutating through techniques and spiritualities to reveal new layers of meaning.
