Hannah van Bergen

Hannah is known for her lively cityscapes and contemporary deckchair/ski scenes on canvas.

​Using bold contrasts and vibrant colours, she applies acrylic paint in various forms to build up layers and texture to give the work a real sense of atmosphere.

​Hannah conveys the hustle and bustle of urban life with the fluidity and movement of the distinctive lines she creates. In contrast, her deckchair scenes offer a sense of calmness and serenity.

​Ultimately, she aims to transport the viewer into the scene and leave them there to enjoy it:

“People have described my work as ‘happy art’ and I like that; I think if you’re going to invest in a painting and hang it on your wall, why shouldn’t it make you smile?”
