Premio Combat Prize

Lady Rose in Spring.
Her wreath is shining like the sun. Her veil is blowing a little bit in the breeze and she has choosen one of her most beautiful dresses. She is waiting for her lover longingly, to take with him a romantic walk around the little lake.
Spring blossoms are exuding their sweet fragrance, the sun is shining, the birds are singing in the trees. A wonderful day.
BIOGRAPHIE
The Austrian artist GABI DOMENIG (born 1963 in Lienz) was attracted to fine arts in an early age. Her love for painting encouraged her to take classes in nude painting, color theory, drawing and composition. Charcoal, red chalk and pastels on paper and primed wood panels were the common tools in the 1990’s.
Following her first exhibition in 1999, where she presented 20 large pastel paintings to the public, she started to paint with acrylics on canvas. The strong and bright colors and the way to work with acrylics go very well with her nature.
The artist is primarily concerned with the representation of women which shows through her artworks. She tries to capture moments and to build up emotional tensions. Her art is colorful and life-affirming, touching and connecting, aesthetic and respectful. Her characters send out varied emotions such as pride, pain, love, sadness, loneliness, joy and longing. They are sensuous, strong, vulnerable, thoughtful, dreamy, seductive, promising and cautious. The figures are mostly located in a particular environment cutout. Flowers, plants, animals, patterns and landscape sections are decorative parts are usually situated in the background.
The images should speak to the viewer without words. He should feel something of her passion when she paints. If an emotional and visual dialogue arises between them, her goal will be achieved. If the selected image fits exactly to the buyers home furnishing and accompanies him and makes him happy, she will be even more happy!
