Dominique Smallcombe is a visual storyteller.
Starting with her degree in Visual Arts from UNSW and her early career in the Australian film industry, she uses her artistic practice to express subjects relating to the natural world.
Dominique's paintings have a shared interest in reimagined natural places that are not readily available to the human eye.
They refer to deep subterranean spaces of hidden underwater worlds as well as light and translucent vaporous atmospheres.
The unavailability of visual observation from the objective world allows for intuitive projections and felt responses to arise.
These impressions are presented through organic movements, expressive colours and related forms that coalesce into the resulting abstract worlds of her paintings.
