About me

During the summer of 1990, Dominique decided to relocate himself to California. For the past 20 years he has been living around the San Francisco Bay Area. Dominique graduated from photography school in France on April 1989. His photographic style is based on a lot of black and white and natural light studies. His specialty is Portraiture. In 1994, Dominique fell in love with the " Arabian Horse" which took him on a long journey across the United states and the biggest European show rings such as the Salon Du Cheval in Paris, the Tulip Cup show in Deurne Holland, and the Aachen Show in Germany. He has worked for several International magazines covering horse shows, breeding farms and the Tevis Cup 100 miles endurance ride in the Sierra Nevada (USA) his favorite event to photograph. For the past 6 years, Dominique has been concentrating his work on doing mix media art to create digital paintings. His work takes you in a " Fantasy" world. Every painting is very unique.
2012 is a NEW START!!! Dominique's passion for motorcycles is coming alive into his work and it is taking him on a new journey!
The artist states " There is nothing more magical than the natural light surrounding us every day. It is the source of my inspiration"
