Contemporary Sunflower Paintings | Original Oil Paintings

Title: Roots 

Original: Oil on Canvas

Dimensions: 90cm x 60cm 

These atmospheric sunflower paintings speak to roots, memory, and origin, tracing the artist’s journey from the Eastern Cape coastline of South Africa to the northern English coast. The works merge two landscapes into one emotional terrain: the expansive, shifting atmospheres of the North with the bold vitality and warmth of sunflowers rooted in the artist’s homeland.

Rich in symbolism, the sunflowers become vessels for resilience, belonging, and quiet strength. Painted in layered oils on canvas, the surfaces are built slowly, allowing depth, movement, and texture to emerge through an impasto finish. The result is a body of work that feels both grounded and cinematic, luminous yet shadowed, familiar yet distinctive.

These are not traditional sunflower paintings. They carry a darker, more contemplative tone, offering a unique and immersive interpretation that is unmistakably the artist’s own.
