In this work you look the deep red tulip straight into the heart. A heart consisting of a black and white core. You can clearly see the pistil and the stamens in that heart. The red of the tulip petals and the black and white of the core are the eye-catchers. But to the left of the tulip, you can also see some green of a tulip leaf. In the depths, at the bottom of the image, you can see the black vase: an elegant, slender bottle with a narrow neck. All the light falls on the tulip and still spreads gently over vase, but the table - a blue surface - underneath can still be partially seen. If you look closely, you can see within the black outline of this work the straight lines of the blue surface. A line runs horizontally at the bottom of the image, and a line runs diagonally from the bottom right to the top center of the image. The rest of the surroundings are shrouded in mist ;-)
