He learned to paint from Mar Diemèl, sculpt from Piet Jongbloed and monumental art from Abram Stokhof de Jong. Inspired by the Cobra movement founded in 1948, Goené worked experimentally and expressively. He made his sculptures, usually abstract, from scrap metal and bronze. As a painter he worked colorfully, both abstract and figurative and landscapes, he was inspired in this by Henri Matisse and Picasso, among others. In 1956 Goené became a member of the exhibition association St.Lucas and in the 1960s of Stuwing. Stuwing consisted of a group of modern sculptors and painters who wanted to work freely and experiment with forms and materials. The ideas of this group were also those of Rien Goené. In 1958 he became a member of the Genootschap Kunstliefde in 2006 he was appointed honorary member. Goené exhibited regularly at home and abroad, including at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and in various other galleries and museums in the Benelux, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden, and was permanently represented by the Guildhall Gallery in Chicago. Rien Goené passed away in 2013, at the age of 83.
