Guido Vermeulen's mail art envelopes are like worlds into themselves and at the same time they are part of the much larger whole.

(a comment by NANCY BELL SCOTT, USA, on the IUOMA network)

Guido's paintings are like finding images in the clouds
(a comment by Kathleen D. Johnson, USA, on IUOMA)

Guido does not paint monsters but spirits and ghosts, full of love, tenderness and compassion
(LIZA LEYLA during a conversation, Belgium)

His ability to express emotions through painting is a beautiful gift. Allowing oneself to feel sadness is the most direct route through grief. His paintings feel peaceful and kind.

(STEPHEN WALKER, USA)


My life is shifting... Your work is intangible, ethereal, cosmically rewarding. i eat it up & savor it like a great sandwich! It made my day!
(Lisa PEREZ, USA, on IUOMA)

Thank you for the TALISMAN painting on the envelope. It is real cool and creepy at the same time. I haven’t seen a piece of abstract capture such as pain and emotion so well since I visited the museum of art in Toledo. Bravo!
(Sarah Jo Pender, USA, from the Indiana Women’s Prison)

I suppose you could characterize Guido's painting style as expressionist. I know he is very interested in dreams as a source for art and poetry, and these particular chapter pages seem like shadowy dream corridors filled with shifting images and scenes. The Michaux quotes work as a counterpoint, Guido's art is taking over when the limits of language have been reached.
(De Villo Sloan, USA, on my tribute pages to Henri Michaux, see LAMUSAR blog)

Guido’s art expressions are always poems and they show us the reality of our real faces and souls (Mariana Serban, Romania)

His titles have both inspired and educated me (Alicia Starr, USA)

TARANTINO, STRAY CAT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD



PHOTO MONTAGE. This cat is now living in my flat after months of hesitation. She still does not trust me. I can't touch her. Let us say: she tolerates that I am also there in the flat. She watches me like a hawk. Waits for me before the toilet or the shower or the sink or wherever I am. She wants to have eye contact, so she knows what I'm up to. Sometimes she speaks and I respond. I am getting better in reading what she wants. Her mate UMA reminds wild and outside. She refuses to live in the flat and stays in the garden and other places in the neighborhood despite rain, cold and snow. Both are afraid of a big fat red bully, the rapist cat. We all shout against that cat and try to scare him away. Which is not easy! Sometimes I throw pebbles or small stones to that cat but never to hurt him. So I aim below or next to him. I only want that he stays away and does not rape Uma and Tarantino.
