Dominik was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Her love for children led her to study Childhood Education and around that time she noticed her passion for visual art. In 1982, she took private drawing classes and that became her new hobby. Fast forward 18 years, in 2000, Dominik started to paint with a private teacher and over the years, she took acrylic and oil techniques classes at Miami Dade Community College. For years, she has dedicated herself to her family and her professional life. Now more than ever, she decided to free herself from other obligations and reveal her creative side to the world by making her artistic career her priority. She is now a full-time artist living in Miami Florida with her family.

Dominik works primarily with acrylic on canvas and wood panels but also with oil, collage, and mixed media. Her paintings appear to be roving between reality and fantasy, sobriety and phantasmagoria, decency, and insanity, with some sort of African and Haitian flavors at once. Dominik’s creations evoke images of valiant women, ritualistic ceremonies, pilgrimage, and throng people seemingly in trance as seen during Mardi-Gras season and queen-like figures harboring majestic postures.

Always reinventing herself, Dominik has grown tremendously as a talented and prolific artist. Her body of work has changed and showed remarkable maturity. Her deep intuition, unconventional flair, skillful ways of handling the palette knife, and love for heavy impasto, drive to the creation of paintings that are vivid, appealing, and meaningful.

Dominik’s works are available in various sizes. However, she prefers to create large scale abstract paintings, which are indeed real feasts for the eye.
“The fun is in creating something from nothing, the true inspiration comes while doing the work” said Dominik.“I love when people find themselves intrigued and mentally invested in my paintings”
