Art that holds stillness.

Crafted to live with you.

Layered wall sculptures made for intentional interiors and emotionally attuned spaces. Minimalist in form, architectural in structure, deeply human in spirit.

I’m Sureen — an architectural artist based in Brisbane, Queensland.

My practice bridges art and architecture to bring serenity into overstimulated spaces. Each piece is a sculptural meditation — created to hold presence and evoke peace.

“I don’t create to fill a wall. I create to hold space.”

About My Work

  • Materiality →

    Hand-layered wood, sculpted textures, matte neutral tones.

  • Form & Philosophy →

    Sacred geometry, spatial harmony, light as collaborator.

  • Art as Energy →

    Each piece is created with intention to hold space.

“Each sculpture begins with presence — a listening into your space, your story, and the stillness that wants to live there.”

- Artist Statement

I create sculptural work that invites stillness.

With a background in architecture and an intuitive eye for emotional design, I shape layered wall sculptures that are as much about energy as they are about form. Each piece is a quiet offering — handcrafted from wood, refined through texture, and grounded in natural tones that honour the rhythm of space.

My process is slow, deliberate, and deeply personal. I work with sacred geometry, light, and shadow to evoke serenity in environments that are often overstimulated. Whether created for a home, a wellness retreat, or a gallery wall, each sculpture is designed to hold presence — to anchor a room, shift its emotional resonance, and invite pause.

Art, for me, is a form of devotion. It is the way I contribute to beauty and healing — not only through the pieces I create, but also through my Silent Pledge: a portion of all works supports Operation Smile Australia, helping fund life-changing surgeries for children with cleft conditions.

This is work that speaks softly but lives with power.

- Artist Bio

Sureen Gouws is a South African-born, Brisbane-based artist and former architectural designer whose work explores the intersection of emotional resonance and spatial form. Working primarily in wood and textured finishes, she creates minimalist, monochrome wall sculptures that bring calm, beauty, and quiet presence into curated interiors.

Her practice is deeply influenced by sacred geometry, architectural restraint, and the philosophy that “less” reveals the soul of a space. Each artwork is handcrafted in small batches or as one-of-a-kind commissions, honouring a slow, intentional creative process.

Sureen’s work has found homes in private collections, wellness retreats, and designer residences, and her commitment to healing extends beyond the visual: a portion of all artwork proceeds supports Operation Smile Australia, providing life-changing surgeries to children in need.

When not in the studio, you’ll find her grounded in nature, exploring stillness through different practices, and imagining new ways for art to serve as sanctuary.

A Quiet Impact

Every piece is created with care — not only for your space, but for the world we share.

A portion of every sculpture supports Operation Smile Australia — funding cleft palate surgeries for children around the world.

This is my Silent Pledge: that beauty can also be of service. Quietly, but powerfully.

Every three minutes, a child is born with a cleft condition, and in many parts of the world, surgery to repair this condition is not available. Only 7% of children with un-repaired cleft conditions survive to the age of 20. But in just 45 minutes, a life-changing surgery can transform a child's future.

Operation Smile Australia works tirelessly to provide free, safe surgeries to children in need, relying on the generosity of people like you. Thanks to your support, I’m able to contribute to this incredible cause!
