I’m interested in Romanesque art, especially the naïvety in depicting faces, linear perspective and decorative patterns. The quite humorous images from the Romanesque art caught my interest in the University and I use it often in my paintings. It is a quest for finding the essence; looking for the most effective expressions, gestures and attributes to depict a story. In a way, it is a challenge using universal themes from the Bible or mythology, because they are depicted in so many ways in art history. I love to find a new image within the theme. Every week I join a club of artist in a figure drawing session, a great opportunity to practice the gestures and expressions of the human body. Sometimes I use the sketches of these sessions in my artwork. As seen in my portraits, the human being, in all its unusual habits are also a basic theme in my work.

Iris van Zanten (1971) graduated in 1996 at the Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam and gets her Master, History of Art at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Inspired by Bible stories and Romanesque art she is looking for new Images telling a certain story. Are you afraid of colour? She is working with pigments and water. For giving the pigments a ‘hold’ she prepared the surfaces with sand, boneglue and Van Dycke Brown. This technique gives a softness to the painting and of course a bright color.
