Mixology is a collaboration of styles, drawing on influences from traditional practices, expressionist ingredients, and elements of street art.
Florals are universally iconic and significant in every culture. They have also been a focal point in art throughout history and across cultures and styles – from Japanese watercolour to technical illustrations of botanical anatomy and through to tattoos.
They can speak to all five senses and connect us with incredibly personal memories and touchpoints in life. They can represent our heritage, individuality or personal aesthetic.
On my mother’s side, I am coconut trees and hibiscus flowers. On my father’s side, I am clover and a Tudor rose. I am a cocktail of traditional practices and colourful expressionism with a mix of street culture.
Artist Bio: Bravo Domino is an expressionist and abstract artist from Sydney, of Filipino and Irish descent. Having been a hobbyist painter throughout her life, Bravo began painting full time two years ago, after stepping away from a career in music festivals and concert touring.
Bravo is strongly influenced by street art, contemporary abstract landscapes, and neo-expressionism. She works primarily with acrylic, pastel and markers, dissecting surface and space with line work and a strong sense of colour.
While focusing on landscapes and floral subject matter, her work features nostalgic graphic elements and patchwork-style layers that contribute to a strong, urban visual language. Each piece is a dynamic dichotomy of solid, block colours and heavily textured brush strokes that creates fluctuating moments of elation and serenity.
Bravo is also a digital pattern designer for textile and graphic design. Using photographed details of her artworks, her prints are an electric blend of analogue textures and digital distortions. Similarly to her artwork, Bravo’s patterns are a kaleidoscope of hyper-colour geometric shapes with a neon, urban personality.
