~ When the heart is full of little birds, there is no space for anger or bitterness. ~
Iida’s style of making art branches out in many ways: she draws, paints, photographs and writes poetry
combining all these elements. The past few years she has concentrated on working more with inks.
But if she is not having fun with pens and brushes, her hands might be shaping something else like
a warm-hearted forest fellow Naava (Usnea) or even building an own love ladder for a creature
called The Universe. Time after time she has ended up exploring happiness or the delicate forms of
existence itself. Precious stories can be found all around, no matter where you are or in which company.
Thinking about art and life in general: creativity flows without force, behind every corner
lies the possibility of something that can make your day.
Iida grew up in Kaskinen, which is not only the smallest town in Finland, but also an island.
She has BA degree in photography. She graduated from Arts Academy at Turku University of
Applied Sciences in 2008. Her artworks have been exhibited in Finland and abroad (for example in The Headquarters of United Nations, NYC/USA). Her works belong to private and public collections such as Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria. Some of her poems have been published in Italian and English,
but she writes them mainly in Finnish. She has illustrated newspaper articles and magazine, book and album covers.

Au Bord De L’eau
Arts visuels - Etoy (France) - 17/04/2024Artiste peintre, l’eau fait partie intégrante de ma pratique. Ayant suivi un enseignement d’aquarelle avec un maître chinois à New York , l’eau fascine les formes de mes paysages , jusqu’à devenir le paysage . Je peins avec les goutes de pluie , avec les vagues de la mer , un homage à la vie , à la beauté de la nature . Je cherche donc des résidences proche en bord de mer car je réalise un projet au contact des vagues de différents endroits . Mon travail est visible sur mon site louiselaffaille.com j’offre une peinture en échange du temps passé chez vous

Photographer And Writer Looking For ResidencyArts visuels - Lyon (France) - 11/04/2024Salt in eyelashes is a photography and video project about insular teenagers identity and development in Greece. Where bodies reveal and affirm themselves and how they bind to each other in an open space by the sea. It goes along with my other photography projects, mainly “The Lobster Complex” in which I immersed myself in Brussels teenagers sphere. Thereafter, my “Bank” series portraited the skate culture in Luxembourg. More recently, in Formentera, I produced a series of photographs revealing my personal bond with the isle. Since my childhood, I traveled through Greece and its islands, under my parents impluse, who transmitted a piece of insularity through this inimate experience. The islands have sharpened my vision, my education, my way of approaching things and the livings. For me, they are like a second home, a second skin. Today, with Salt in eyelashes, I would like to pursue my teenager world quest with young people who grew up on those Greek islands and tell more about those islands through their bodies, their look and their fragility. My goal is to highlight the voices, the feelings, the stories of those people living or who have lived on an island. Through their testimony, I intend to dig, to feed and exchange knowledge around the subject of adolescence. The final result will be presented as a photography series and research notebooks but also as a video documentary and a paper edition.

Multidisciplinary artist in quest of new inspiration, new places/ people to discover. In Canada or outside, Would like to work on paintings/drawings or bigger projet as sculptures if my journey is long enough and if there is available material. I love walking for many hours, gather flowers and making bouquets or arrangment of any sorts. That might interest hosts who own a place where they welcome tourists as a business or simply flower lovers. : ) Ideally the residence would be available for at least a month so i'll have the time to immerge myself by surrounding. To the artists who are interested in a home /artwork exchange, iam open for a suggestion for 2025. Minimum a month. As well i will make an another page later for the one who are seeking place in Montreal. I will offer room/creative place at my home. My first language is french and my english and spanish are ok.
