Iris Kiewiet -Profile
Born in Dokkum, the Netherlands, march 9 1974, Iris Kiewiet grew up in the youngest province, the polders dried in the 1960’s. Her parents originate from the island Ameland, with generations going back, of farmers and sailors. This resourceful entrepreneur family tree, formed the base for her artistic career; ‘My hands just know.’
Art studies and the first self employed years, Iris spent both in Rotterdam and Groningen, with additional traveling abroad. In 2004, a 5 months journey through Canada, guided the artist towards a new way of understanding the art of painting. With her fresh family, husband and daughter, she now lives and works in Canada’s hill and forest environment in Wakefield Quebec.

Iris Kiewiet -Artist Statement
The visual language in both my paintings and illustrations is consistent in the sense of creating an introspective and narrative image. In all the works, myth is connected to humanity. The starting point is the self, the archetypal, spiritual, hereditary, reality resisting self.
The environment is just as important. The Canadian landscape is enlarging my canvasses literally as well as energetically. In this environment, I can access my potential that creates a space to where we want to go to in the future. Not by time, but by meditation, and by pure being in nature or with our selves.
Reflecting life in the world with what’s going on inside, is a way to enlightenment where many spiritual teachings are based on. To me this is the essence of creation. Not of just something, of life, of earth, of cosmos. I also believe that within this realm, information can be found and passed on to next generations. At the moment when you can create an image of what is not there yet, and needs to be manifested, it already comes to life. In this silence, this pureness, this essence, many artists refer back to nature. People are deeply related to nature. In my paintings, I visualize the presence of people, like an aura. Unsure if it’s an actual person or an entity. And see that as a start for a new earth.
