This work is part of the series Painted Room

In Moonlit Corner, Jan Theun van Rees captures the quiet interplay between colour, light and constructed space. Created within his ongoing Painted Room series, the work depicts a temporary environment built and painted specifically for the photograph, a space that ceases to exist once the image is made.

Here, bands of deep blue and warm orange fabric interact with the cool grey tones of the floor, illuminated by a soft, angled light. The composition evokes both architecture and abstraction, balancing material presence with a sense of illusion.

Van Rees explores how light transforms painted surfaces into something ephemeral. Through this process, he turns photography into a form of painting, where each image becomes a moment of stillness, shaped entirely by colour and perception.
