SUNFLOWERS

Ilona Bastos

MEET THE ARTIST MANFRED W. JUERGENS

MANFRED W. JUERGENS

Sunflowers, 2004, Oil and Egg Tempera on Panel, 0.57 x 1.00 m, Private Ownership

.

Don't you care about the drooping plants-

Be them flowers made of light and sap,

Brightness and clearness,

Honouring life.

 

Flowers of vivacious petals, come to me,

Keen leaves, bring me the sun, -

Let its beams clean my soul,

Your whater get into my body,

The art of the shadows cast in my skin,

Embellish the colour of my days!

 

In the fertile wood I create myself,

On the glass - mirror of life

And the windows openned to the world -

I see my image,

 

In your sunflowers I bloom!
