beautiful and stylish women.
Gouskova's women are sexy,

positions and expressions of
the figures. Her contemporary
approach to pose, dynamic
composition and colour
produces paintings that are
modern, proud, vibrant and
uniquely individual. When

it a feeling of physical
intensity and a subtleness of
form, outline and volume. For

uses acrylic and all kinds of
