"Elegant and figurative, the invitation that Sónia Domingues offers at first sight of her works.Domingues employs a wide number of techniques and media to convey the full range, emotions and thoughts that she delivers. In her bold pieces, Domingues differs from a direct representation to compositions that are rooted in Surrealism. She uses her in-depth knowledge of applied arts, stained glass, and design, to bring forward such influences and enrich her paintings.
Symbolism becomes central to Domingues’ work as she juxtaposes objects, and other contrasting compositions onto the focal point of her pieces, introducing new features that have a correlation with the main one. It is a way to let the viewer freely interpret these additions to become an active part of the exhibited artwork and thus establish a strong personal connection with the public. Her drawing is elegant and accurate, portraying the depicted figures, objects, and scenes in a form that approaches reality and yet plays with abstraction. Her chosen formula is to split her images into geometric shapes, an element that can be paralleled to artistic movements of the modern era like cubism and futurism, coloring each shape independently.
The result is staggering as she introduces a thought-provoking element within the context of a painting style that is both intriguing as well as charming to her viewers”.
Domingues is an artist that shows through her dedication in painting that creating a combination of painting with applied techniques is not only something beautiful and aesthetically pleasant, but it is also something that evokes many conceptual elements promotes a practice central to contemporary art.” - Yadira Roman [Managing Editor] ArtTour International Inc. - ATIM’S TOP 60 MASTERS OF CONTEMPORARY ART 2017
