Painting Soleil couchant by Gaultier Dominique | Painting Abstract Marine Oil

As a child, Dominique drew instinctively. As a teenager her notebooks were filled with her artwork. Convinced that art was her calling, she attended the School of Fine Arts as preparation for the entrance exams into the Decorative Arts School of Geneva. She trained there as an interior designer before turning to commercial art and cartoons. At the time, Dominique created meticulous figurative works with a brush and acrylics, directly inspired by architectural drawings. But this rigor did not suit her, and her work evolved towards the abstract. For many years she taught painting classes in Avoriaz where she participated in the creation of art workshops at the resort. She later organised many workshops in Haute Savoie before creating her own gallery in Thonon-lesBains.
