Experience Synesthesia
What is it like to Be Go Sha? – What is it like to live with syneasthesia? For me, it mainly manifests itself by seeing words in colour and also in space…
Every letter has its own unique hue and words are a combination of these colours. The first letter gives the word its colour…

I would like to take you on a journey through the creation of Trinity Church in Clitheroe. This is a demonstration of the artist’s approach to a painting, the search for inspiration and the techniques used during its production.
Welcome!
My name is Gosha Gibek, and I am an artist whose work is inspired by the fascinating phenomenon of synaesthesia.
As someone blessed with this rare gift, I see colours everywhere, and my mind is constantly looking for them, even in the dullest of places.
Living in Lancashire, some may find the area dull and grim, but not me. Even a grey roof will look ‘Cyan Blue’ after it has rained, creating an opportunity for me to capture the beauty of the world in a new light. This gift of synaesthesia allows me to perfectly capture people in motion and the vibrancy of objects and textures.
My goal as an artist is to create inspirational art and pass on the positive energy I draw from vibrant colours. My mission is to fill the world with colours and through this give people a ‘Feel Good’ vibe of happiness and joy.
Through my unique perspective of synaesthesia, I incorporate a variety of colours and textures in my art, which captures the essence of movement and vibrancy. My artwork features pieces that inspire and uplift the viewer.
I invite you to explore my portfolio and see the collection of art that is sure to captivate your senses.

Painting Padiham 2019
2nd PRIZE
I love the print of Pendle – coming from Burnley (my grandparents lived in Sabden), Pendle Hill was always the back drop of my childhood. Now living in Hampshire, it’s great to have a piece of home in my home and relive those walks and trips up Pendle with my Grandfather. Gosha, I love this thank you!

My journey as an artist, so far
After completing my studies, my passion took me to Spain. This was an unforgettable experience, one where I was able to make a living whilst also learning and constantly evolving as an Artist.
I spent three years in Spain painting henna tattoos and drawing portraits from polaroid photos for tourists who were staying in nearby hotels. I enjoyed every moment of Spanish life, I was able to travel to parts of Spain I never thought I would see such as for example the original house of Salvador Dali in Figures and the amazing constructions of Gaudi!
I moved to the UK over 18 years ago with my son being only just 1 and have spent all this time building a successful career as an artist, capturing people’s favourite places, memories and achievements in living colour.
I am extraordinarily blessed to do what I love for a living. Born and raised in Poland, from an early age I always knew I wanted to become a famous artist and decided to pursue my dream by studying Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland.
Capturing people in motion – a beautiful signature style
I create sport and landscape art. My work often captures cyclists, runners, rock climbers and rugby players in motion. Using a household non-drip gloss paint, dripped from a pallet knife onto a surface, allows me to create people in motion or a memorable landscape, a simplistic beauty that has become my trademark.
While my journey has been varied and exciting, one thing never changes, whatever I create, I always include lots of warmth and colour. Above all, I want my work to make people smile.
Commissions – capturing your passion for sports
Be it a custom painting, a portrait of a cyclist, or a landscape centrepiece for your home, commissioning artwork allows sports enthusiasts to choose the subject matter, colours and dimensions of a piece. This has proved a popular choice, with many people commissioning a piece for a birthday or anniversary present.
