POOL ART BY KOKETIT
WHAT BEGAN AS A VIRAL POST BECAME A NEW WAY OF SEEING THE SWIMMING POOL.
Today, private collectors, hotels, architects and developers seek out Koketit’s unmistakable visual language as a mark of something singular—artistic, unexpected and entirely their own.
Each Koketit pool is conceived as an original, site-specific artwork, created in dialogue with its architecture and surroundings. The line moves beneath the water, continuously transformed by sunlight, reflections and the bodies moving through it.
No longer an empty blue surface, the pool becomes a living canvas—a work of art you can enter, experience and swim through.
COMPLETED POOLS AROUND THE WORLD
Explore completed Koketit pools across private residences and hospitality destinations worldwide. Each is an original, site-specific artwork created for its architecture and surroundings—with new Koketit pools currently in development and under construction around the world.
STAR ISLAND, MIAMI
RICK ROSS RESIDENCE
The project began with a DM. Rick Ross discovered Koketit on Instagram and reached out directly; Barzilay’s first response was to make sure it was really him.The conversation evolved into a site-specific commission for Ross’s waterfront home on Miami’s Star Island. Koketit’s drawing of two faces was developed for the pool’s exact proportions and viewpoints, then translated into a full-scale mosaic.
Featured in Architectural Digest, the completed pool marked a defining moment for Koketit Pool Art: a digital vision transformed into a permanent work at architectural scale.

Beneath the water, the artwork is never static. Light, reflections and movement continually shift the line, turning the pool into a living canvas and making the surrounding architecture part of the composition.
AWWA Boutique Hotel
BALI, INDONESIA
At the heart of AWWA Boutique Hotel, a 25-metre pool becomes a living canvas.
Created as an integral part of the hotel’s architecture, Koketit’s continuous line moves beneath the surface—shifting with the water, the light and the bodies passing through it.
More than a decorative element, the pool is an immersive artwork: a drawing guests can enter, move through and experience from within.
A moment where art, space and water become one.
THE ARTIST’S MARK
Every Koketit pool carries the artist’s signature, permanently embedded within the artwork beneath the water.More than a mark of authorship, it certifies each pool as an original, site-specific work of art—created exclusively for its location and added to the growing collection of Koketit pools around the world.
CHAPTER CHIANTI HOTEL
TUSCANY, ITALY
Set among the vineyards and rolling hills of Tuscany, the pool at Chapter Chianti becomes a meeting point between art, architecture and the surrounding landscape. Created specifically for Parasole—the resort’s relaxed poolside setting—the work translates Koketit’s distinctive drawing language into a monumental, immersive scale. The expressive line unfolds beneath the water, creating a contemporary visual gesture within the natural textures and timeless atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside.
Throughout the day, the artwork is continuously redrawn by its environment. Sunlight sharpens the lines, reflections soften them, and the movement of swimmers brings the composition to life. From above, it appears as a vast drawing embedded in the architecture; from within, it becomes an experience of movement, water and form. The result is not an artwork placed beside the pool, but an original Koketit work that transforms the pool itself into the canvas.
DIGITAL CONCEPTS
These pools begin in the imagination. The images below are conceptual visualizations—original digital studies rather than completed installations. They allow Koketit to explore new relationships between line, colour, architecture and water. It is from this evolving visual world that future site-specific commissions take shape.
As Koketit’s pool language has become increasingly recognizable, imitations have followed. An authentic Koketit pool is an original artwork developed directly with Shira Barzilay’s studio, created for one specific location and completed with the artist’s signature embedded in the work.
If it isn’t signed Koketit, it isn’t a Koketit.
