Discover "Sunflower Gaze” by Yosan Leon is a deeply symbolic artwork that intertwines art, music, and spirituality. This acrylic on canvas, was created in 2015 and later chosen by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd as the cover of his 2022 single Hey Hey Rise Up, a tribute to Ukraine. The piercing eyes evoke Pink Floyd’s iconic visual style, while the sunflowers symbolize Ukrainian resilience and the artist’s connection to his homeland, Cuba, where this flower represents light and hope. In Yoruba religion, the sunflower is the sacred flower of Ochún, the goddess of sweetness and charity, infusing the piece with spiritual energy and transcendence.
