Founding Story

the scent of iron. how it all began.

For more than 20 years, founder Angelika Domenig has dedicated herself to art. Her love of painting already began in the basement of her father’s workshop, where the scent of iron and rust was already in your nose from afar. Interestingly, iron filings and rust products still characterize her style and Aquarylic’s product range today.

The basement became Angelika’s first studio. There she experimented and liked to “get her hands dirty” – with paints, of course. Driven by curiosity, she kept trying new things color-wise. However, she was never completely satisfied with the products available on the market – they were sometimes too thick or dried up too quickly, and there were no colors that could be combined with with acrylic, watercolor, oil and gouache.

the dawn of aquarylic

Angelika couldn’t let go of one idea: what if there was a new kind of color? Besides acrylic, watercolor, oil and gouache? A completely new painting medium, which does not yet exist. And which are the only colors that can be perfectly mixed and combined with acrylic, watercolor, oil and gouache.

The idea became a mission. Angelika tried and experimented for years – she never let go. One day, when she saw the glow in the eyes of people trying out her new color concept, it was clear to her: these are the colors she wanted to bring out into the world. At first, the founding team, Angelika, Philipp, and Julia produced the products in small quantities by hand with very few tools – but due to the many delighted customers, production was quickly expanded. Today Aquarylic is already able to ignite a burning desire among international artists.
