about the artist
Angelika Domenig is a freelance artist, designer, author, lecturer and entrepreneur. She is passionate about painting, where she devotes herself to the theme of abstract realism, and she also loves to give workshops and pass on her knowledge to her participants. For Angelika, art means to reflect herself in her works and to be able to convey her own feelings to the viewer.
aquarylic masterclass
Since 2020, Angelika has been offering the aquarylic master class in her studio in Dornbirn. In several modules she teaches the aquarylic technique and promotes the creativity of her participants and brings them artfully to a new level.
“Having worked in the field of courses for years, I decided to offer an aquarylic masterclass. I knew that intensive work with each individual artist makes a significant increase and fast artistic development possible. What is learned is implemented, trained and intensified under my constant guidance.” – Angelika
her art movement
Angelika defines abstract realism as combining two opposing elements – on the one hand, abstract art, the artistic style in which nothing real or representational can be recognized anymore, and on the other, realism, the more or less accurate representation of reality.
Between these two counterparts there is a huge colorful and diversified world with a myriad of gradations. The core and origin of abstract realism is a concrete scene, a real situation or idea.
Unlike abstract painting, abstract realism always has a real subject or idea. This central theme is then reduced, diminished, distorted and alienated, while the object still remains recognizable. Things that aren’t important are left out, the surroundings are blurred. Consequently, the representation doesn’t represent reality in a realistic or photographically accurate manner.
It is exactly here that the viewer is called upon. Viewers are encouraged to use their imaginations to recognize realities, memories, and thoughts. The viewer should be given the opportunity to make use of his/her own fantasy and imagination.
courses
After years of intensive self-study, Angelika successfully runs her own studio since July 2012 and puts all her passion into the course area and her artwork.
The versatile techniques from abstract to motif, are very popular with painting students and art enthusiasts from home and abroad.
Angelika also organizes painting seminars and painting trips at home and abroad such as: Salzburg city (AT), Pinzgau (AT), Burgenland (AT), Täsch – Zermatt (CH), Stäfa Lake Zurich (CH), Tuscany (IT), and Sardinia (IT).
She is also active as a lecturer in renowned academies: Kunstfabrik Vienna (A), Kunstakademie Bad Reichenhall (D), Akademie der bildenden Künstle in Kolbermoor (D), and many more.
about aquarylic
“High pigmentation and special flow characteristics make aquarylic colors perfect for glazing and layering.” – Angelika Domenig.
„I really enjoy working with textures. To bring them out effectively, I use multiple glazes, and for this, the highly pigmented Aquarylic paints are the best choice. I adore the new shades of blue, but I also use the chalk paint in every painting. The colors dry to a beautiful silky sheen, and I no longer need any varnish. Wonderful.”
