Born in Ostend, Dominique d’Orange enrolled in the Art School of Bruges before attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Ostend.

Her oeuvre consists of a lot of portraits, prints, wall paintings, surreal, photorealistic, abstract and post-impressionist paintings, projections and graphic work. She made several series, such as Lady with hat, both oil paintings and prints.

The artist evolved from a classical to a modern, contemporary and graphic style.

Her early artwork is marked by a delicate palette and a dreamy Post-Impressionist style, depicting fairy-like enchanting gardens, flower pieces and ladies with hats.

Later on, her Pop art inspired work shows stronger colours and other subjects.

Her Surreal artwork is very appealing, rendering a message of culture and critical points of view.

Her technical and compositional skills are brilliant. She loves working with oil paint. Nevertheless she doesn’t restrict herself to a single medium.

Recurring themes are other cultures, human violence and failure, philosophy and dreams. Painting is the way to express her inner thoughts.

She is keen on travelling as it provides her with the necessary inspiration and impulses.

At the moment the artist is concentrating on printmaking, photography and installations.

Dominique d’Orange lives and works in Belgium and abroad.
