La Regina Rosa

With studios in New York City, Miami and Hollywood, Domingo has nevertheless retained his humble roots. He grew up in Palma de Mallorca in Spain, where his mother was a painter and his father fixed cars. Surrounded by “paint and fumes”, he explored his heritage and learnt about artist like Diego Velazquez, Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali.

His art studies in London and subsequent business degree took him to Wall Street, New York, in 1999, before he embarked on a career in the music industry and wrote lyrics for Michael Jackson. He was hugely influence by pop culture and the aesthetics and Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Created in oil and acrylic, Domingo’s works incorporate mixed media, collage and graffiti. His poetic imagination is visualised through layers of text and visual cues including symbols and iconic brands and figures.

“I quite my job and started painting. I was working in the corporate world for more than 10 years, leaving a job where you were making some money. But I thought, if I don’t do it now, in my early thirties, when am I going to do it? So I went and I said, ‘I’m going to go ahead and do it.’ And thanks God it worked!”
