Horse in white

A white horse, rendered with elegant simplicity, bears an ornate blue saddle cloth adorned with golden butterflies. Above, a luminous yellow flower blooms with orange petals, whilst additional butterflies flutter nearby. The composition plays with scale and symbolism, combining the classical subject of the horse with whimsical natural elements. Executed in oil on board with a restrained palette punctuated by warm accents, the work exemplifies Heyns’ technical mastery and his conviction that flowers embody cycles of life and beauty as redemptive forces.
