From 1953 to 1958 Guillaume studied fine art and painting at the Amsterdam 'ḰKunstnijverheidsschool'(Artschool), a predecessor to the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. In 1958 Guillaume received the 'Koninklijke Subsidie voor de Vrije Schilderkunst' (Royal Subsidy for Fine Art Painting) to encourage young promising artists. The same year he had his first exhibition in Café Eijlders; a large venue at the Leidseplein in Amsterdam which is famous for its artistic ambiance and clientele. During the sixties and en seventies he made many study trips in Europe and lived in the United States and Suriname. He also travelled to India, Morocco, Mexico and the Caribbean for inspiration. Guillaume's art is present in museums worldwide; (amongst others) the Municipal Museum of Mexico City, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Cobra Museum for Modern Art in Amstelveen, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag The Hague, Surinaams Museum Paramaribo, Het Curaçaosch Museum in the Dutch Caribbean and the 'Instituut Collectie Nederland', the national art collection of the state of the Netherlands.

This special jubilee was enough reason for a large retrospective where he showed works spanning his entire career which still continues to date. Guillaume currently lives and works in Amsterdam Noord where he and his wife Lydia continue to receive guests and prospective clients and prepare exhibitions.
