Sunflowers (from Masterpieces of Europe series)
Valery Koshlyakov's *Sunflowers* reimagines Van Gogh's iconic motif through an unconventional medium, constructing the composition entirely from strips of adhesive tape layered onto mat board. The work belongs to his *Masterpieces of Europe* series, in which Koshlyakov reinterprets canonical Western paintings using humble, industrial materials that lend the image a fragmented, decayed quality. The texture and translucency of the tape create a surface that feels simultaneously ruined and luminous, evoking both the passage of time and the enduring power of the original source.
