Welcome – I’m Aia Leu

I’m a Swiss fine artist living in the mountains near Kenmare, County Kerry, where I’ve made my home since 1989. I work in oil and watercolour, creating symbolic landscapes shaped by Ireland’s shifting light and my artistic heritage. My early training in figure sketching took place in Vevey, Switzerland, and I follow a family line of creativity through my grandmother, Swiss artist Eva Aeppli.

My Art

I paint to capture the spirit of the landscape, blending the real with the imagined. Mountains, forests, and lakes meet subtle symbols, imagined animals, and hidden artefacts – creating atmospheric worlds where nature and storytelling become one.

About the Artist

Between 2017 and 2020, I created more than 78 paintings for an award-winning tarot deck, a three-year creative journey. I am a member of Visual Artists Ireland, and my work is available here on my website and at the Kenmare Courtyard Gallery, a co-operative open daily on Henry Street in Kenmare.
