Twee Geel en Een Wit

Three flowers occupy this vertical composition with spare, considered placement: a single white bloom at the top, and two golden-yellow flowers below, set against a muted, weathered ground. The painting’s narrow horizontal format emphasises an almost botanical verticality. Executed in oil on board, the work demonstrates Heyns’ technical command through subtle tonal modulation and restrained colour. In his practice, flowers transcend decorative convention to embody cycles of vitality and decay, their beauty offering counterpoint to deeper existential questions.
