Fiori Oscuri. In Italian that means 'dark flowers'. The title reveals that we are looking at a floral still life. This is no accurate depiction of dark red roses, but instead just the idea of them, the colour. The Renaissance frame is like a window. A window on an infinite field of colour. Flowers – and by extension our own existence – are ephemeral. In his notes Verheyen wrote that in this work ‘the dark flowers are as dark as blood. The blood of dark flowers.’
