In Tuscany, where the artist’s studio is nestled, golden fields of sunflowers stretch endlessly across the hills. This work draws inspiration from the myth of Clytia, the sunflower spirit of Greek and Roman legend. Consumed by her love for Apollo, the sun god, Clytia gazed upon his light until she transformed into a sunflower — forever turning toward the sun.
Her figure, rendered in radiant gold, and the deep blue at the heart of the bloom symbolize her devoted love, glowing ever brighter under the sun’s rays.
The vibrant background evokes the earth, heated by the sun and rich with myth and imagination, celebrating the profound bond between sunflowers and sunlight.
Through this poetic vision, Francesco Mazzi once again unites nature and mythology upon his artistic stage.
