Bravo Domino is an expressionist and abstract from Sydney, of Filipino and Irish descent.
She is strongly influenced by street art, neo-expressionism, fauvism, contemporary abstract art, and her background as a singer-songwriter. Her lyrics and poetry feature regularly in her pieces, often as the featured subject or sentiment and sometimes hidden discreetly in the detail.
“I love art that clashes heavy sentiments with light, playful elements, and whimsical undercurrents. A little bit goofy, a little bit dark, always very personal”.
Her work features a dynamic dichotomy of solid, block colours and heavily textured brush strokes creating fluctuating moments of elation and serenity. Her bold landscapes celebrate the natural geometry of terrain, cleverly dissecting surface and space with line work and a strong sense of colour. Domino creates a world that feels like a dreamscape in an 8-bit universe.
Bravo is also a digital pattern maker for textile and graphic design. Using photographed details of her paintings, her prints are an electric blend of analogue textures and digital distortions.

“A serene plateau of crystal blue water lapping winding rhythms of flat sand banks at the foot of dramatic rock formations. My happy place in dreamscape form filled with other-worldly, exaggerated proportions and technicolour terrain. ‘Kaleidoscope Country ' is an oasis that represents the amalgamation of the pieces of our personality - our favourite music, our childhood food, the colours and iconography we connect with through the course of our life and accumulate like a unique tapestry. It's the mixtape, the record collection, the box of letters. It's the treehouse with the trinkets that never come back down. ‘Kaleidoscope Country ' is my personal utopia - a tranquil melting pot of identity, moods and culture.”
