Dominique Winders is a multi-disciplinary artist who combines collage, painting and mixed media into work that is rich with symbolism, subtly re-interpreting history with images suggesting scraps of memory and surreal dreamscapes. She embellishes her pieces with metal, gemstones and iridescent accents giving each piece it’s own unique relationship with light.
Her intricate hand cut collage and acrylic narratives are filled with tiny details, humor, and whimsy. Using Marie Antoinette, cabaret dancers and femmes fatales from the Belle Epoque as her protagonists, she explores the flamboyance of enigmatic women from the past, honoring them as iconic time traveling heroines in imaginative and psychedelic landscapes.
Introduced to high gothic architecture as a child, “The Cathedral Project”, combines the artist’s French heritage with her Midwestern roots. Using rare, tin, barn roof shingles as her canvas, she bridges the spiritual world invoked by gothic masterpieces with rustic architecture. The work integrates historic facades, caryatids, icons and are embellished to create a dreamy homage inspired by man-made wonders.
