Geneviève Gougon

Biography
Geneviève Gougon was born in 1975 on the island of Curaçao in the Dutch caribbean. She moved to the Netherlands when she was ten years old. Creating has always been something she liked to do. Making something out of nothing.    During her bachelor studies Art and Design  (spacial presentation/design) and subsequently the studies for her teaching degree in visual arts education, both finished at the Noordelijke Hogeschool Leeuwarden, she was educated in various processes of creation in different disciplines of arts and applied arts and design.

Spiritual processes

Spiritual processes are in broad sense very important in my paintings. My own spiritual process has led to various experiences of awakening,  the sense of enlightenment and an intenser experience of Oneness with our Source. These processes have given me more and more insight into earthly matters, but mostly also beyond that and in the human condition. I translate these insights onto my paintings.  

Balanced Creation

The road an idea travels from within the mind to the exterior where it manifests itself, I find very fascinating and it gives me the confidence that everything you can imagine, you can also manifest. The possibilities are infinite. The challenge is to find the right way to convey that which you want to manifest. Whichever medium I chose to manifest my ideas with, I like to follow my own path.

I let myself be inspired by whatever it is I encounter on that path. I prefer to do this  outside of the established boundaries and set boxes, of which there are far too many. In this way a manifestation develops in the process, where only one thing is crucial; balance and harmony.
