GABI DOMENIG
Austria
-BIOGRAPHY
Born in 1963 in Lienz, Austria, Gabi Domenig was attracted to fine arts in an early age. Her love for painting encouraged her to take classes in nude painting, color theory, drawing and composition. She used charcoal, red chalk and pastels on paper and primed wood panels which were the common tools in the 1990`s.
Following her first exhibition in 1999, where she presented 20 large pastel paintings to the public, she started to paint with acrylics on canvas. The strong and bright colors and the way acrylics work goes very well with her nature.
Gabi is primarily concerned with the representation of man and women which shows through her artworks. She tries to capture moments and to build up emotional tensions. The viewer should feel something of her passion when she paints. She doesn`t want to stir up. For her art should be life-affirming and beautiful, touching and connecting. A language without words.
Her characters send out varied emotions such as pride, pain, love, sadness, loneliness, joy and longing. They are sensuous, strong, vulnerable, thoughtful, dreamy, seductive, promising and cautious. The figures are mostly located in a particular environment cutout. The expression of the eyes should draw the viewer into its spell and animate him to enter in a deeper communication with the figures in the picture. Flowers, plants, animals, patterns and landscape sections are decorative parts, but are usually situated in the background. Because of her intensive color palette and the figurative painting she is attributed to the Neo-Expressionism.
You can find her artworks in privat collections, in international art books, art magazines and online art galleries.
Participation in many national and international exhibitions in Austria, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil and USA.
