“Pool Light” immerses the viewer in a captivating portrayal of light dancing upon the surface of a serene, light blue, and transparent swimming pool. The canvas serves as a tranquil ode to the play of light and water, evoking a sense of tranquility and elegance. Influenced by the iconic work of David Hockney, particularly his renowned painting ‘A Bigger Splash,’ this artwork draws parallels to Hockney’s fascination with depicting swimming pools as artistic subjects. The allure of the pool, epitomized by Hockney’s vision, transcends mere recreation to become a canvas for artistic expression. The swimming pool, often symbolizing leisure and escape, stands as a sanctuary offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It represents a space where individuals seek solace, basking in a sense of freedom, allowing the shimmering water to serve as a metaphorical escape from the monotony of daily routines. Through ‘Pool Light,’ the artist captures the essence of this aquatic haven, inviting viewers to partake in a moment of contemplation and relaxation, where the glistening surface becomes a threshold to a realm of serenity and tranquility—a space to unwind and find respite amidst the gentle play of light upon the pool’s ethereal surface.

Netherlands
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.
