New creative direction and painting work for Society of Cloth SS26 campaign.
“Lost in the Garden”

Inspired by Mughal miniature paintings, my artwork served as a backdrop for this immersive world building. The divine garden of freedom acts as a bridge where models step out of the painting, moving from imagination into form. A conceptual elemental field where true lovers express themselves authentically and with total acceptance, lost in their own world.

Check out the new collection and painting on display at Orchard St, New York.

Resting in the Divine Void
Ali Van Godil

In an age of overconsumption, mass media, and accelerated capitalism, we are endlessly pulled toward more; more content, more noise, more doing. And yet, it is deeply ironic that the source of all creativity and inspiration arises not from accumulation, but from absence. To create is to bring something from nothing. The divine void is not emptiness as lack, but emptiness as field—a vast womb in which all possibility exists.

When I am overwhelmed by work, inner turbulence, or the pressure of deadlines, it is not more knowledge or effort that brings resolution. Completion arrives through pause. Through resting quietly in the knowing that everything will unfold as it must. By loosening my grip on the mind, the fog lifts. The solution already exists—it simply needs space to reveal itself.

Thanks to the team at VCU for the love.

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙
See the change within once the light reflects.

“The sun is not permitted to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. Each floats in its own orbit.” — Qur’an 36:40
We fast beneath a sky already in devotion.
The sun, the moon, the stars—each moving in sacred rhythm.

May this month return us to our orbit.
Bathing in Light.
In harmony with the Divine.

Happy Valentine’s Day. 💖🌷
For this day I am in love with my spirit. Share that love to all humanity. 🫶🏽💍

Unconditional love is the currency of life and we all live in that state. Plants. Nature. Stars. Animals. (Whether we see it or not) No physical permission required to feel. 🐶
I am divine unconditional love.
They love. They love me not. It doesn’t matter.

Welcome to the new year. 🐎🧲💖
Where new paths to express my emotions and spirit take root and blossom.

A new vision for humanity is awakened in the age of Aquarius.
This year is the gateway to that portal.

I came to God with my broken heart, the only offering from my being.
God said, teach them the expression of all life is unconditional love.

Sincerely
House of Gul.

Come join me in China for a creative workshop in 2026! 💖🎨

“As a minority living in the United States, Ali’s works deeply reflect the “spirit of the nation” and the “national artistic heritage”. This kind of design with deep cultural heritage is a rare product in global visual communication….
As the founder of House of Gül, Ali Van Godil’s works have become the idols of many designers with strong “cross-cultural”, “regional” and “national” characteristics. In addition to having a unique aesthetic style, his works have a deep cultural heritage in the industry. Ali Van Godil’s works integrate cultural narrative and aesthetic concept, which resonates with global viewers.”

New artwork 💖
47 Al Wadud

A reminder that love is all around you - all you have to do is give yourself permission to know that you are loved unconditionally.
Al Wadud is one of the divine names of God. Meaning “The Most Loving” or “The Affectionate,” and it signifies His deep, active, and continuous love for His creation. Derived from the Arabic root word “w-d-d,” which implies love expressed through action.
