Dominic Brown
Dominic Brown is a visual artist from Rijswijk, The
Netherlands.
The archaeological sites, drawings and symbols he
discovers on his journeys to far away places form
his primary source of inspiration. Much of his work
draws on the 5000 year old murals and hieroglyphs
he has visited while traveling through Egypt.
His inspiration, however, is not only fueled by the
Egyptian sights he has seen. Early in life, Dominic
found himself inspired by the rich Turkish culture
and Greek mythology. As he got older he also
developed a fascination for the Mayan mysteries
and Incan civilizations.
He sees the eccentric masks from Africa as a way of
communicating with the past. He believes that the
emotion or message that an artist wanted to
express many hundreds or thousands of years ago
could not have been transferred more vividly than
through a painting, drawing or a symbol. The lines
and colors used by the artist elicit a certain emotion
from the audience. With the use of his own lines
and colors, Dominic, too, seeks to communicate
with people throughout the world. According to
him, something that does not have a time or
language barrier will never perish.
My work is created by combining traditional
techniques like drawing, painting with modern ones
like printing, scanning, photographing (smartphone
mostly) and use of Photoshop and Illustrator.
