"I get inspiration from different areas; whether it is historical elements, such as the early depictions from the Lascaux caves, or other inspirations that come from sociology, psychology, scientific methods and pop culture "
— JOHANNES HOLT IVERSEN

He graduated from the Dutch Art Academy Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2020. In 2016, Johannes Holt Iversen participated in the Оsten International Biennial of Drawing at the Оsten Museum of Modern Art Skopje, Macedonia. In 2018, Johannes Holt Iversen exhibited at the Glassbox espace d'Art in the 11th arrondissement in Paris, France, as well as the Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelts Museum in Herning, where he participated in the TV program series The Art of Being Cheated on DR1, based on a concept from the British TV network Sky Arts. Here he produced an exact replica of the famous CoBrA painting "Bird eating" from 1939 by Carl-Henning Pedersen.
