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

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.

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!

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.

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)

GUESS WHO HAS A NEST ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON?
Intervention on a mail art envelope mailed to David Stone in the USA as contribution to his project on BLACKBIRDS.
Painting accompanied by this text:
Sci Fi Doomsday Poem
To David Stone
Guess who
has a nest
on the dark side
of the moon?
For each new war
she drops an egg
that explodes
to form a new crater
So many now
I fear the whole moon
could explode
at any second
Then
a tsunami of moon debris
will wipe us away
Guess who'll
move her nest
to what remains
of earth
to feed its young
the dark ashes
of everlasting clouds?
