When I drive around Southern Spain, in Andalusia, between Malaga and Sevilla, what a wonderful sight of endless fields of sunflowers, like a liquid gold, alive, like a solar invasion materialized, here on our earth.

Marvellous multitude of sunflowers starring at you and one feels a great surge of lively power inside one's soul. I am not surprised that Van Gogh got to them and painted them...and how!!!! I don't believe that any artist ever will be able to express the essence of those godly flowers as he did.

I painted few of them as my reverence to Van Gogh; to thank him that he left to us such a wonderful and mystical memory of them.
