Gaultier Dominique | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

She moved to the South of France in 2008, after falling in love with the region and the landscapes of Cézanne and Van Gogh. Colour became the signature of her work and Provence her main source of inspiration. Dominique works oil paints with knives, finding in this technique a long sought after spontaneity. Working the medium allows her to express her perception of the colour and light of the South. She spends much of her time outdoors where she soaks up shapes, colours and the play of light. On returning to her studio, she records these impressions with a stroke that is as clean as it is instinctive. Dominique creates different works, ranging from stylized landscapes to complete abstraction. She moves from imaginary forms to the purified landscapes of a Provence of intense colours, shining with light.
