Selected flowers

A stylised head rendered in warm, flesh tones cradles a vibrant bouquet of yellow and orange blooms, their petals rendered with particular attention to light and form. A single pear sits solitary beneath, rendered in golden-brown tones. The composition employs a restrained palette dominated by ochres and warm neutrals, with the floral arrangement providing striking chromatic intensity. Oil on board allows Heyns to explore the interplay between the sculptural quality of the head and the delicate materiality of the flowers, reflecting his long pursuit of aesthetic refinement.
