Description: This radiant still life oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel presents a bouquet of golden sunflowers in full bloom, arranged in a round ceramic vase against a soft blue backdrop. Painted in the artist’s signature impressionist style, the flowers appear lively and expressive, their bright yellow petals swirling around deep brown centres, evoking warmth and rustic charm. The textured brushwork and diffused background tones give the painting an ethereal atmosphere, while the soft turquoise and dusty rose hues in the background contrast beautifully with the vibrancy of the sunflowers. The table surface beneath the vase is rendered in soft peach and lavender tones, grounding the composition and highlighting the natural beauty of the arrangement. Lel’s use of loose, confident strokes allows the flowers to pulse with energy, echoing the influence of Van Gogh and French post-impressionist floral painters. While best known for his coastal and architectural scenes, Lel’s floral works remain a favourite among collectors for their joyful spirit and homey elegance. This piece is an ideal choice for lovers of classic still life subjects with a contemporary impressionist twist. It would sit beautifully in kitchens, hallways, or living rooms, offering a touch of French charm and natural beauty to any interior. The sunflower motif remains one of the most popular in art history—symbolising happiness, resilience, and optimism—making this a thoughtful and timeless addition to any collection.
