“Japanese Birds” draws inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s reflective quote on the enriching and uplifting nature of Japanese art, as expressed in his letter to his brother Theo in September 1888. The artwork seeks to capture the essence of joy, cheerfulness, and a return to nature often associated with studying Japanese art, despite the confines of conventional life and education. The painting employs a stylistic approach that pays homage to the techniques of plane, line, contours, and clippings, reminiscent of the methods often attributed to Matisse. This artistic homage combines elements of form and style, contributing to the visual composition of the artwork. The vivid depiction of bright light, reminiscent of the radiant sunshine found in the South of France, plays a pivotal role in this painting. The use of highly pigmented paints infuses the artwork with vibrant and radiant colors, enriching the visual impact and contributing to the cheerful and lively atmosphere portrayed within the scene. “Japanese Birds” encapsulates the essence of joyful vitality, drawing from the principles of Japanese art and evoking the exuberance of colors and forms akin to the radiant beauty found in the South of France, while also paying tribute to the artistic techniques of Matisse.

Cécile van Hanja, born in Corsica in 1964 and a graduate from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 1993, is an artist residing and working in Haarlem, Netherlands. Her artistic journey was profoundly influenced by her early years spent in the South of France, where she later found inspiration in the structured landscapes of the Netherlands. Van Hanja’s works embody the principles of ‘De Stijl’ and Modernism, particularly influenced by Piet Mondrian’s straight lines and the movement’s pursuit of harmony and unity. Her fascination with the ideas of hope and prosperity stemming from these movements of the 20th century reflects in her paintings, which often depict modern architectural compositions characterized by rhythmic patterns of verticals and horizontals. Emphasizing immaterial aspects by creating open spaces, her paintings feature transparent walls and floors, leading to an interplay of reflections and vanishing points. The deliberate use of thin layers of acrylic and oil paint adds depth and luminosity to her works, allowing underlying colors to shine through and preventing the architectural compositions from becoming static. Cécile van Hanja’s art is known for its multi-colored labyrinth of spaces, creating an illusion of depth and complexity within a structured framework of lines and reflections. Her compositions invite viewers to explore the blend between rational and intuitive thinking, offering a unique perspective on modern architectural landscapes through her layered and transparent artistic approach. Her works are displayed in various private collections globally and represented by prominent galleries such as the Fremin Gallery in New York and Saatchi Art’s Samsung Architecture collection.
