Established in 2007 in Sebastopol, Ca artist Dominic Padua has developed his art over the years of practice and meditation on his life travels. His art speaks of organic change. Powerful mother nature, death and rebirth are themes that illuminate his creations. He works with various mediums of paint including spray paint, airbrush, paint pen, marbling and ink. He has also dipped into the art of laser etching making it possible to put his art onto all different kinds of wood, tile, glass and plastic. Through the years his art has evolved to exist in many places including art shows, festivals, graphic design, murals, and online. Dom has shared his visions on many canvases including hats, shoes, clothing, canopies, kitchen supplies, bodies, skate boards and so much more. With a creative vision rooted in permaculture principles and steeped in world travel experience, Dom Chi expresses his unique perspective with visions of waves crashing, trees rooting, life cycles, fields planted and life abundant. His color palate is vibrant and evokes a true sense of "Being ALIVE". His latest endeavor has been creating fermented hot sauces, Kim Chi, Sauerkraut and Kim Chi Sauce. Now you can "Taste the Art". Come meet the family and see all of his creations at his store in Sebastopol.
