“One of the well-known mottos of the second wave of feminism, ‘personal is political’,

fits perfectly for Dominika’s work without being pushed forward as the motif.

This can also be said about the painting series developed within the last couple of

years. Dominika is employing expressive, intuitive painterly language and reduced

colour palette for recording her personal polemics with an essentialist connecting

of femininity and nature. A leitmotif of the series is freely exceeding into a series

of the objects created during the symposium in which Dominika used materials from

local shops that clearly refer to the „female world” as the world of decorating,

beautifying, and care, both about the household and the self.

     Yet, the language which Dominika uses in this series does not aim for a direct

confrontation, it is not an open critique of the cultural stereotypes. It is more a kind

of mimicry when seemingly banal decorative items reveal only on the second sight

their true, uncanny nature.”
