The sunflower is a native plant from America and has been imported by the Spanish when they discovered the New World. Its symbolism is about its form and its color, conveying warmth and happiness, adoration and longevity.
One cannot see an artwork of sunflowers without thinking on the paintings of Van Gogh. He painted a total of twelve of these canvases in a time where he was the most happy.
This photo is a still life based on the contrast of the materials, the stone hardness of the vase, the table and the fragility of the flower’s petals, the liquid sensation of the ceramic and the luminosity of the plant. Both are composed in a geometric Asian pattern evocating a repetitive melodic theme.
