José Van Gool

A representational artist, José van Gool is intrigued and inspired by the human nature. People in her paintings are content with their destiny, whether they are walking on the beach at the sunset, relaxing in cafés, waiting for the next subway train, or dancing. José loves her personages, and she brings their feelings into our lives without judging anyone.

José Van Gool was born in Baarle Hertog (Belgium).
In 1968 she moved to Amsterdam (Netherlands) and has been living and working there since. After one year at the Rietveld Academy, she spent 5 years at the Van Gogh Museum workshop.

Her paintings have been exhibited in numerous American and European galleries and are included in permanent private and corporate collections worldwide.
