This news about that little child genius has made my day. I saw the pics of her art painting and I thought it was Monet indeed. Then I realised that it was Iris the artis and geniunely happy for her, for myself and for the whole world. I feel hope, no matter what makes it possible but hope even further when it comes out of the heart of such little child whom happens to be autistic. How beautiful it’s her meaning of life, how pure her meaning about the world and how geniunely she beutifies the humans. I feel humble and happy and I thank God for the landscape of ourselves, at least the one of hope she colored through her Art. Yes it’s not Monet and she can’t be classifies like that. It’s her! It’s Iris art!
I’ve always thought that there is an unreachable rich and richer world in the mind and heart of an autistic beyond our understanding. Right there where our understanding rich no more answers about them, there the children like Iris leave free and happy, denying access to anyone. Yet, she found a way to tell us about her and us too. God bless you Iris!
Amazing paintings !! this baby is a genious!! Glod blessed her with an incredible talent!! She is an angel in this world, congratulations!!!
