Painting description

This painting is an explosion of color, dominated by the intense yellows of sunflowers that almost leap off the canvas. The bright flowers contrast with a cool, dark background—full of blue and green patches that recall the summer sky and the greenery underfoot. The overall composition is a slightly chaotic yet deliberate mishmash of forms. The painting radiates joy and energy, as if saying, “summer is here.” The artistic style recalls Impressionism, though the brushstrokes are more energetic, almost Expressionistic. Looking at this painting, you can feel the carefreeness of childhood, when you ran through fields among flowers. The artist used the alla prima technique, applying paint wet on wet, which adds dynamism and vitality to the piece. When I look at these sunflowers, I feel a hint of nostalgia—they seem to whisper to me from forgotten summers. This work is full of life; it makes you want to smile. And I like sunflowers because they’re as pretty as the sun!
