Dear Visitor,

As of August 1st 2018 I have moved to Bonaire, an island in the Dutch Caribbean (former Dutch Antilles). At this new location the creative endeavors of Gougondesign will take form step by step.

You can of course still order art from the art collection or commission new work. Your order will be shipped to your location, if possible. Let me know where you're located and I'll look into shipping possibilities.

Intuitive Painting Workshops in the Netherlands are canceled for the time being. Keep an eye out on the website to see when workshops will start and from which location.

If you have any questions or you find yourself in Bonaire and want to take a workshop, let me know to see if I'm available.

Mysterious mini worlds

You may have already noticed the new direction I have taken creatively. Besides my acrylic paintings I also make pencil drawings, some of them colored with watercolor pencils. 

These playful drawings of mysterious mini worlds display mysterious creatures, objects and worlds a far or mybe even close by, who's to say. The most important things is that you can make of it what you see in it!

To see these drawings together I refer to my Twitter account for the mean while. https://twitter.com/Gougondesign/media

Are you interested in one of my available pencil drawings or you want me to make one for you? Feel free to ask about availability or  possibilities for a commission.

The Art of Awareness

"Visual artists or anyone who creates often reflects the world they live in into their art or creation in one way or another. For me this is no different. Through my paintings, poems and designs I reflect the world we live in but I also reflect the world that is not so obvious when looking only with our five senses. The spiritual world is just as evident as the world we see manifesting in our day to day life. Were we only able to see it......."

This is a beautiful island situated in the Dutch Caribbean just 60 km off the coast of Venezuela. With 150.000 inhabitants and many different nationalities the island is very diverse. This diversity also reflects in the art forms being performed on Curacao by many different artists. In my quest to map down the artistic scene on Curacao with the intention to make it my home again as a professional creative, I can't withhold this good coverage from you of Curacao artists from the Curacao Tourist Board. OF course there are many more creative souls who call Curacao their home. You're welcome to dive in and taste the many expressions and creative richness of Curacao and its many artists.

April 24th, 2012 Four new paintings have been added to the gallery! The paintings: "Unconditional" "Twin Flames" "Enchanted forest" and "The knowledgeable witness"   Unconditional, 2012 acrylics on canvas, 80 x 100 cm Love, experienced on the ego-plane is often bound to conditions. When one is spiritually awake and experiencing love in its true essence, pure and true relationships can be formed, whatever the kind. Love becomes Unconditional. Letting go of illusion, transcending to higher truth. Through several symbols the story is conveyed. Technique Special paint effects give this painting that extra edge when light shines upon it. The halos for example on the heads of the four "guides" on the right are painted with gold paint, making them visible when light shines upon them.

Once created in pairs, divided to live and gather...to become whole in One. Afterwards united again in One.
