About me
My name is Dominik Gegaj, and I am 18 years old. As a self-taught artist from Salzburg, Austria, my journey began in 2017 when I stumbled upon watercolor painting and developed a passion for art. The versatility and unpredictability of watercolor allow me to express creative visions in a unique way, creating a distinct atmosphere in my works.
Monochrome
Over the years, I have refined my techniques and developed a distinctive style that is both minimalist and complex.
Today, my primary focus is on creating monochromatic portraits to add depth to my work. My minimalist approach allows me to concentrate on the essence of my subjects.
I exclusively use Indigo Blue in my artworks because this color choice doesn't distract me from my motifs. My emphasis is on the composition of my artworks, not the color itself. Indigo Blue is also a unique color that creates a high level of recognition.
Inspiration
I draw my inspiration from various sources, including architecture, films, and music. However, it is primarily my self-reflection and thoughts that shape my work. In my pieces, I aim to depict the human experience and address important themes such as identity and emotions. It all begins with a sudden idea in my mind. Once I've sketched this idea into a concept and am satisfied with it, I translate it onto the canvas using watercolor paints. This process allows me to express my thoughts and feelings in an honest manner.
