Sunflower
Floarea soarelui
2013 · oil on canvas · 43.5 × 43.5 cm
A bulbous green clay vase stands on a pink-violet table and holds a bunch of sunflowers: about ten orange-yellow heads, some open frontally with olive-brown centres, others turned in profile or drooping over the rim. Broad dark green leaves twist between the stems and fall heavily to the left. The ground is a grey-green and violet surface treated in vertical strokes, with no indication of space. The paint is thick, the yellow applied in short radial strokes for each petal; the contrast with the green of the vase and leaves carries the whole picture.
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.
