“Villa Boomerang” captures the essence of the modernistic architecture embodied by the distinctive villa of the same name. This architectural inspiration, marked by its characteristic curve, echoes throughout the painting’s composition. The villa’s namesake, derived from its curved design, is echoed in various elements within the artwork. The artwork intricately mirrors the villa’s design through the deliberate incorporation of curves, notably seen in the pool’s contour and the surrounding fence, both replicating the villa’s characteristic curve in opposing directions. This repetition emphasizes a sense of rotational dynamism within the composition, creating a visual rhythm that captures the eye. Additionally, the strategic placement of slender trees acts as a repoussoir, serving to visually push the villa on the right side backward. This technique creates an optical illusion where the left side of the house seemingly advances forward, akin to the trajectory of a boomerang returning after its flight. The painting’s technique involves a transparent top layer of oil paint, imparting a light and airy quality to the artwork. This method allows for a nuanced interplay of colors and luminosity, contributing to the overall dynamic and vibrant portrayal of “Villa Boomerang,” showcasing the essence of the architectural design in a visually captivating manner.

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.
