Patricia Domínguez's Art Style

Domínguez explores a diverse range of media, drawing upon myths, symbols, rituals, and healing practices. This synthesis combines artistic creativity with experimental ethnobotanical research. Domínguez employs watercolors, ceramics, sculptural assemblages, and video installations to create imagery reminiscent of shrines. These visuals draw from a wide-ranging vocabulary, encompassing plant life, consumer products, corporate wellness initiatives, and the digital realm.

Her artistic practice centers on challenging the expanding global influence of corporate cosmologies by exploring the intricate interconnections among species within the context of our digitized existence today. Her installations take the form of sculptures, videos, and publications, with the intention of mitigating the effects of late capitalism and ecological degradation on both the physical and social dimensions of our existence. Simultaneously, they delve into the liberating potential of artistic imagination as a means of psychic emancipation and a path to healing from our colonial trauma.
