Hello hivers, I have an emotion and I need to share it with you, without waiting long, and is that last Sunday I fulfilled a dream, because I went to an immersive exhibition of the great Vincent Van Gogh, is called: Meet Vincent Van Gogh, is immersive style where you immerse yourself in the paintings or well they invade you, is interactive, you can draw, touch, hear his story, you appreciate all his journey as an artist you live it in an emotional journey for about an hour.
The exhibition is located in the Bicentenario Vitacura, Santiago Chile. It took me an hour drive and 2 means of transportation to get there, first the subway and then a cab. The ticket was previously purchased through the assigned platform, I did it as soon as it was announced, well a friend did it for me in her free time and I always thank her because sometimes I find it hard to work on those platforms (believe it or not). Well, once you get there, at the first door you show your ticket, you go to a second row, where we hope to consolidate the group of the hour, we entered the reception area, there they verify the entry and mobility pass, then you go to a booth where they give you a headset with a device, it was like sophisticated walkman (laughs) where you listen to the stories.
There are rooms where you sit and admire as a film, scenes of Van Gogh's life: the letters with his brother Theo, when he fell in love, his many travels, how Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger (his sister-in-law) decides to translate and exhibit all of Vincent's art, to her we owe so much, that later I will tell you her story, in an independent publication for the credit she deserves for her action, for what is art if it is not shared?
In the exhibition Vincent's yellows and flowers stand out, of course there are his starry nights, the infinite barn, his multiple self-portraits, where I lost myself in the blue of his eyes and it brought me back to earth remembering so many things and the reason for my path in art. Vincent, is the artist to whom I often turn to, often to relieve my own torment. Vincent Van Gogh is the artist who immerses me in his blues and dries me with his yellows, decorates me with his flowers and makes me live his textures.
Carta: Letter:
Hello Van Gogh or do you prefer to be called Vincent? I did not know this dilemma of yours, I identified myself, because I am also eager to be known by my name. But being inside your works in this opportunity, I felt serenity before that, I knew you, more than that Vincent, I lived you, I reflected myself. Your look of bewilderment with streaks of nostalgia of that to reach, of love and determination to show others your vision even if it was misunderstood at that time but you know what Vincent? At this time it still is, or rather, there are groups for everything, and if there is one where they can understand you, in fact, they study, emulate and admire you.
Vincent Van Gogh, I want to tell you that all your effort was worth the madness, there are many of us who dream and live by the stars, your stars. Sometimes, I too feel the turbulence of the sea in my heart but then I run to your barns and calm down. The bright sunshine of your yellow is incomparable, inspiring, so much so that it became one of my favorite colors, first because I think it suits everyone, second because it vibrates me, I feel special wearing it, in fact, for our date, I made myself a blouse, I paraded it and modeled it in all your pictures present, I am your sunflower.
Thanks to you Van Gogh, I remembered why I started in sewing, I always wanted to wear paintings, in my own way and here I am with what I have doing what my heart screams to me. I have the same doubt as many: if the obsession of art is madness or illness. The truth is as you say: "The small emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without knowing it". "Better to be daring even if you make many mistakes than to be narrow-minded and overly cautious."
I don't remember my first meeting with you, but I do know that in my time as a gallery owner, a great artist whom I carry in my heart, gave me your book, not only with your paintings, your biography and letters, in it there was your interpretation of that yellow of your sunflowers and since then it is a tool to raise my energy towards the vibrant, bright and positive.
Now that I'm remembering, your blues also fill me with nostalgia, I don't know if it's because of my deep longing for the sea or because your movie called Letters to Theo, full of blues, I saw it with a lover, better said a loved one, the kind that breaks your soul, your life, your mind and your heart into a thousand pieces, but you still remember him with the tenderness and intensity that he gave you at the time. Today I woke up with that feeling of emptiness and the uncertainty that maybe I will not fall in love again, but as usual I came back to you, with this pending task and you gave me this phrase: "It is good to love as much as you can, because therein lies the true strength, and he who loves much does great things".
I know I will do great things because I can recognize my love for you, for the daring in this world (ungrateful at times) called art, because I love to see the smile of the smiles of the spectators with the sensitivity for the works. I love my talent, my madness to awaken and promote the art of all, I faithfully believe that everyone carries his Van Gogh's ear waiting to be honored.
And then you answer me: "It is better to be daring even if many mistakes are made than to be narrow-minded and too prudent". So I decided to dare more, forgetting perfection and prudence, for you tell me: "What would life be if we did not have the courage to try new things?" Here I am letting go of my means, daring to write you this letter, in the madness of believing myself your sunflower, with a sea of dreams to live.
Vincent, Van Goh, I won’t promise you anything else, because I have already fulfilled the most desired one. I dreamed, I believed, I did and I got it, to be my canvas in your works. I do want to thank you for that vibrant yellow, for the textures that remind me of the relevance of touch in the beloved hands. I thank you for being bold, invasive and gentle in my history as an artist. For your discipline and perseverance in spite of the world, humanity.
To those who read me, if you got here, I also thank you, if you are in Chile, visit the exhibition until August 18. The photos are a personal record. With my heart shining yellow sunflower and flooded with blues with starry night, I say goodbye: may the art accompany you, the colors invade you, thank you again.
