When it comes to sunflowers, it's hard not to think of Van Gogh. His best-known is his obsession with painting sunflowers. From August 1888 to January 1889, Van Gogh painted 11 sunflowers. It can be said that sunflowers are one of the most dazzling parts of Van Gogh's life.

When it comes to Van Gogh, we all know that he was an artist who was not popular, poor, and depressed when he was alive. He painted like " pigments don't cost money". Among all the colors, there is no doubt that yellow and blue are his favorite: yellow represents warmth, happiness and prosperity while blue represents melancholy. It can be said that Van Gogh lingered in these two contradictory moods all his life.

Van Gogh created all his "sunflowers in vases" in the small town of Al, South France. During Van Gogh's time in Al, he strongly fell in love with the variety of huge golden sunflowers growing everywhere, whether they were the closed buds or the blooming flowers.

From the perspective of Psychiatry, sunflowers have psychological hints that can bring people a sense of stability and warmth. However, we are still willing to believe that Van Gogh's love for sunflowers is because he found creative inspiration and they ignited his passionate life.

Van Gogh wrote in a letter to his brother Theo: "everyone has a fire in his heart, but people passing by only see the smoke." Maybe the golden sunflowers were the fire in Van Gogh's heart.
