Galactic Sunflowers: Time to Shine!
Sunflowers, magic flowers, signs of the sun deities. Their secret light in a galaxy comes from the same source as the 17 million colors in my computer. Yes, it's that simple! Therefore, they bravely cooperate with each other in creating my paintings. In bloom they turn towards me, the creator. When I paint them, I take them to another dimension, galactic one.

Cosmic Bloom: The Galactic Dance of a Sunflower
"Galactic Sunflower" is a visual symphony of the celestial and the terrestrial. The composition centers on a sunflower, standing tall and proud, with its vibrant petals reaching outwards. It emerges from the canvas with a sense of purpose, rooted yet aspiring towards the heavens. The background swirls with the molten golds and deep blues of a distant galaxy, blurring the lines between flora and the cosmos, suggesting a universe where nature's beauty is as infinite as the stars themselves.
With deliberate brushwork, the piece comes alive through a rich tapestry of textures and colors. Each brushstroke contributes to a sense of movement, as if the sunflower itself is in a state of gentle rotation, mimicking the motion of planets in orbit. The warm yellows and oranges of the flower's petals contrast dramatically with the cool, mystic tones of the cosmic backdrop, creating a dance of color that energizes the canvas and captivates the viewer.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "Galactic Sunflower" is a metaphor for our place in the universe—rooted in the earth, yet connected to the vastness of space. The light that seems to emanate from the flower's core is a beacon of hope and unity, reflecting our inner light and the potential we have to shine brightly in a boundless universe. This painting is a tribute to the interconnectedness of all things, a reminder of our small but significant place in the cosmic ballet.
The Fascinating World of Sunflowers
Sunflowers have been on earth for several hundred million years and come in about 60 different species, all native to North America. The sunflower has been an important symbol for many cultures, including the Aztecs, Otomi, and Incas, who used it to represent their solar deity. In my paintings, these magical flowers turn to face me as I capture their connection to the sun and the universe.
The Complexity of Sunflower Genotype in My Paintings
It's incredible to think that a sunflower has more genotype base pairs than a human. As a flower, it's made up of five tiny florets that ripen into seeds. The way each floret is angled to the next creates a mesmerizing pattern of parabolic spirals, with 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other.The flower's round form and pointy fire leaves bring together two opposing elements in perfect harmony, just like how my paintings capture the balance between the complexity of nature and the simplicity of art.

Electric Blossoms: A Sunflower Field's Bravery Against the Brewing Storm
In the vivid portrayal titled "Storm over Sunflower Field," the tumultuous sky and tranquil earth unite in a dance of contrasts. Thunderous energy crackles through the heavens, with lightning etching sharp, bright veins across a brooding canvas of clouds. Below, the sunflower field stands as a bastion of brightness, a sea of golden faces turned upward in unflinching optimism. One solitary tree stands resilient against the impending tempest, a silhouette of strength in the face of nature's upheaval.
My brushes trace the relationship sunflowers have to the cosmos, their ability to turn their faces to the sun and absorb its light just as we seek our light in the universe. Thanks to painting, galactic sunflowers become for me a symbol of our endless search for meanings and connections.
