In 2009 Fieke van Dieren graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in graphic design.
She combines (studio) photography with graphic techniques, such as charcoal, collage and illustration. By composing images manually as well as digitally, new and often alienating scenes are called into existence. At first glance the images have a mysterious character and invite the viewer to participate in the discovery emotion it holds. Each detail can contribute to an element of content. The images arise intuitively, originating in her personal moods. To Fieke the shifting of human emotion and moods are fascinating and almost intangible. Her art is a way of untangling and processing these beautiful and sometimes frightening elements of our emotional existence. Each component contributes to the visualization of basic emotions like frustration, confusion, freedom, ambition and intimacy, which emerge in a new and concentrated form.
She was part of ArtStart Amsterdam and the Affordable Art Fair. Her work has been shown in Rotterdam, Leiden,
The Hague and Utrecht. In September 2015 was her international debut in New York in the exhibition ‘Face the Dutch’ on Photoville.

Fieke van Dieren studeerde aan de Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Den Haag, waar zij in 2009 afstudeerde in grafisch ontwerp .
De kunstwerken van Fieke van Dieren zijn niet in één oogopslag te doorgronden. Het zijn vaak mysterieuze beelden waar de kijker even voor stil moet staan en steeds weer nieuwe dingen in kan ontdekken. Ieder nieuw detail kan bijdragen aan een verhaal of de kijker juist even in verwarring brengen. Alles is voor eigen interpretatie vatbaar.
Fieke werkt met een combinatie van fotografie en illustratie. De combinatie van deze technieken zorgt voor een zekere gelaagdheid waar Fieke in haar werk voortdurend naar op zoek is. Letterlijk, door de opbouw in lagen als in collages, maar ook figuurlijk in haar streven naar diepgang.
Fieke werkt niet met vaste thema’s of onderwerpen. Ze start niet met een filosofie, maar laat het beeld vanzelf ontstaan en van daaruit een gedachte of geschiedenis.
