MODERN SUNFLOWERS

Ever since Van Gogh, sunflowers have taken a significant place in modern art. He was probably the first to put these simple rural flowers in a vase where we would typically imagine a romantic bunch of roses or other graceful representatives of garden aristocracy. Today they appear in all possible contexts, from cozy kitchen still life to avant-garde abstractions. So why are these very flowers so popular among modern artists?

Sunflower symbolism

 

-    Since ancient times, sunflowers have been associated with the sun that gave them their name. As you known, these flowers follow the movement of our celestial luminary turning their heads towards it as it makes it ways across the sky.

-    There is a Greek legend telling about nymph Clytie who was so in love with Apollo that even after her death she turned into a flower and watched him as he travelled through the sky in his golden chariot.

-    In China, sunflowers are also attributed with such qualities as longevity, joy and loyalty. Being considered a ‘happy’ flower, the sunflower is a nice gift for someone’s birthday.

Your own garden on the wall

On DocoArt, you can find a whole slew of beautiful sunflower paintings that will make a great decoration for your apartment. This particular one depicts a bunch of sunflowers that pull their orange heads up into the sky swaying on thin green stalks. There are no clear outlines, no detailed petals or even lifelikeness in the way they are painted. We can’t tell for sure where they grow, in a cozy garden or somewhere in the field. But the canvas radiates warmth and optimism. The combination of soft and saturated colors creates a lovely palette that will definitely spruce up any room. The painting is performed in strokes of different thickness that form a distinctive texture adding more depth and spaciousness to the composition. Moreover, the picture is available in various sizes to precisely fit into a vacant spot on your wall. With these cheerful stylish flowers your home will always be full of sunlight in any weather! The vibrant colors of oil paints, high quality and great durability are combined into a valuable piece of wall decor that will add an elegant and contemporary touch to your home!
