SOLAR POLLEN

While painting this piece I had no idea of the myths and symbols behind chrysanthemum flowers, just a strong feeling that the scene is connected the Sun, and the Sun particles spread to all gloomy corners. While preparing to publish it I've researched that a chrysanthemum is indeed an old Asian symbol of the Sun, a rejuvenation, and is connected to Japanese Sun goddess Amaterasu, that is not only born out of the left eye, but also had a pretty narcissistic weakness for mirrors 👁🌸
