Sunflower
Floarea soarelui
2007 · oil on canvas, 55 × 55 cm
A large bunch of sunflowers fills almost the whole canvas: more than twenty bright orange heads, some open frontally, others seen from behind or drooping, their olive-brown centres marked by circular strokes. Thick stems and broad blue-green leaves cross below, and a few still-closed buds emerge from the mass like spheres. The ground is a warm blue-grey applied in vertical strokes, with an ochre passage at the upper right. The paint is thick, each petal a single movement of the brush; the orange is kept at full intensity and contrasts directly with the cool grey around it.
The same work appears in the 2010 and 2011 catalogues, also as “Floarea soarelui”, but at 60 × 60 cm — the dimensions still need measuring · Painted in the studio on Ion Creangă Street 15, Ploiești — the still lifes and flower pieces from 1984 onwards were made there. Established by the family, August 2026.
