DOMINIQUE VITALI
Dominique Vitali is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in embroidery and stitched intaglio monoprints. While the work might speak to broader narratives, Dominique’s art focuses on her own journey as a woman, exploring sexuality, religion, and body image. Catholicism, its pageantry, its patriarchy, and the tightrope walk between madness and mysticism, has factored heavily into much of the imagery. The stories depicted are deeply personal and, being through the lens of a woman, inherently political. Her narratives explore existence as a female, moving through life under male scrutiny, religious scrutiny, and scrutiny of self.
Dominique attended the Art Student’s League, the New York Academy of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design. In the early ‘90’s she moved to Rome, Italy where she studied zinc plate etching with a master printmaker, painted, and pursued a career in illustration. She now lives in the New York area where she works as a designer and artist, and exhibits in galleries both in the US and abroad.
