Shana Dominguez creates abstract masterpieces that are vibrant and spontaneous. They smash the viewer with unrestrained color, prismatic nuances not seen since Basquiat. Her incredible textures reflect the metaphysical concession of the artist’s everyday life and spiritual profundity that channels a creative force from the collective unconscious that lingers from dusk to dawn in her South Florida studio. Her paintings bring a quantum awareness to the lover of art. Working in relative seclusion in her South Florida studio, she shares the grounds of her residence with the Zoological Wildlife Foundation and is surrounded by Bengal Tigers, Lemurs, monkeys and a host of exotic fauna. This private menagerie helps remind her of the raw simplicity of nature and its nurturing power. Shana’s art exemplifies synchronicity and serendipity at work.
In her twenty-five year career, Shana has composed a body of work that has been reviewed by numerous publications and garnered corporate and private collections, as well as the finest of wholesale art dealers. Her commissioned works have graced the bottles of Terra Blanca Winery. Most recently, Shana’s painting have hit international waters with Princess Cruises, a division of Carnival Cruises for whom she has created 300 originals for on board auctions. Original hand signed limited edition canvas giclees are available from her collection. They are a testimony to the gravity and beauty of her art.
