About this artwork
Poppy (Papaver) is a genus of plants from the poppy family (Papaveraceae) with around 100 species worldwide, mainly found in the temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere. There are annual species such as corn poppy ('Papaver rhoeas'), sand poppy (Papaver argemone) and opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), but also perennial species such as Turkish poppy (Papaver orientale) and medicinal poppy (Papaver bracteatum). Some types of poppy are important…
because of the active ingredients they contain. Opium poppies and papaver setigerum are grown for the production of opium. The alkaloid thebaine contained in the medicinal poppy seeds is the starting material for the production of opioids. The oily, pleasant and nutty-scented seeds of the opium poppy are used as food, especially for desserts and baked goods. The bright red flowers of the poppy, which is widespread in Central Europe, bloom from the end of May and mark the beginning of early summer.

« A painter can turn the sun into a yellow spot, but thanks to their art and intelligence, they can also conjure up a sun from a yellow spot. »
Sigrid Koerner is an experienced artist based in Germany whose paintings have been featured in solo exhibitions nationally and in France. She cites her educational background in natural sciences as having made her sensitive towards nature, its laws and creativity, which uses simple principles to produce diversity, opulence and abundance. For Koerner, plants and flowers are expressions of human emotions, as well as symbols of life and proof of love, "a maximum of beauty and perfection".
