'In the Light of the Window' original pastel
Having begun drawing in his twenties the majority of Domingo’s pieces are now completed in the medium of pastel although he does work occasionally in watercolour or oil. There can be few artists who can sketch with such a meticulous eye for colour and skin tone. Domingo works from a library of his own photographs which provide the inspiration for his pastels. His wife, Rosa-Maria, is the dark-haired model featured in many works and the wives and former girlfriends of his sons have all posed for him although he uses professional models for the more revealing studies.
Domingo’s pastels and oils have been exhibited throughout Europe,
in the United States and Japan and he enjoys great popularity here in
the United Kingdom. Since 1999 some images have been published as signed
limited edition prints, produced specifically for the UK market and
this has enhanced the recognition and appreciation of his original work
in this country.

Domingo was born in Barcelona, where he still lives and works, in the early 1940s. After working as an illustrator he later became sub-editor on a Spanish art magazine, but as his pastel studies became more popular he resigned to pursue a career as a full time artist.
His early work includes illustrations for numerous books and other publications
both here, in Europe and in the USA and during the mid 1960s he spent
some time in London.
