Gezien van de Riet is an exceptionally gifted and driven artist. Her relation to nature in all its manifestations is astonishing. The love with which she captures those manifestations in her paintings arouses a special feeling of happiness in the beholder.
Ernst van de Wetering, world’s foremost authority on Rembrandt
Gezien van de Riet’s work shows an unconditional love for the visible beauty. Even more: she knows how to give it a character of its own. That results in a poetic realism, solidly based on the un-invented, inconceivable, abstract patterns in nature.
Rob Møhlmann, painter, director and owner of Museum Møhlmann
