Description
The painting "Still Life With sunflower "of 1907, the work of the famous artist Piet Mondrian, represents a fascinating example of the stylistic transition of a master That, although better known for his contributions to neoplasticism, he explored other artistic currents in his early years. This work is part of Mondrian's early stage, where he still maintained a link with impressionism and symbolism.
At first glance, the composition exhibits a perfectly organized disposition of objects: sunflower, in its splendor, is the central and most prominent element of the work. The flower is presented with petals of a vibrant yellow marking, which contrasts with the dark background and more subtly nuanced, creating a dynamic visual dialogue. The use of color is articulated in such a way that sunflower, symbol of energy and vitality, is erected as the undisputed protagonist, while other elements in the composition, such as fruits and a jug, add depth and context to the scene.
Mondrian uses a colored palette that accounts for his previous explorations before establishing his most abstract style. The terrible and dark tones that dominate the background evoke an intimate and contemplative atmosphere, letting the luminosity of the sunflower resonate prominently in the viewer's gaze. This use of color is essential for its aesthetic proposal, since, although sunflower may seem like a naturalistic representation, it is also a powerful symbol that reflects the search for essence in nature.
The structure of the paint is remarkably balanced.

Harmony and proportion are key elements, and the almost architectural disposition of objects suggests Mondrian's interest in the form and their relationship with space. Such composition results in a visual experience that invites reflection and analysis, characteristic that would intensify in his subsequent work.

Although "Still Life With sunflower "it reveals a clear influence of symbolism and impressionism of its time, the foundations of its exploration towards the simplification of shapes and colors are fully visible. Tensions and contrasts between naturalism and simplification are an ahead of the work that It would lead to being a pioneer of abstract art, where emotions and ideas seduce through lines, shapes and colors.
This painting also offers a deep reflection on the relationship of the human being with nature. The choice of sunflower is not accidental; The flower, known for its search towards the sun, evokes a spiritual connection, a longing for the sublime. Mondrian, always interested in the deepest aspects of existence, uses nature as a resource to raise philosophical issues that would resonate throughout his work.
In conclusion, "Still Life With sunflower "is more than a simple work of a painter in his youth. It is a fundamental piece that captures the essence of an artist in search of his voice, a work that still resonates with the contemporary spectator and continues to intrigue critics and lovers of the Art.
