Dominica is an award winning artist from Moscow currently based in the UK. She specializes in animation direction and illustration, with a particular focus on printmaking. Dominica’s work is inspired by the themes of nostalgia, memory and ritual. Her  short film ‘Illusions’ was made entirely using a screenprint technique and had worldwide success at festivals and art exhibitions. She has worked as a painter and animator on feature animation ‘Loving Vincent’. She has also collaborated on mural, illustration and performance projects with artists from Kathmandu, Nepal; Oaxaca, Mexico and India.

Her latest short film ‘Chado’ made with the support from BFI Network and produced by Animate Project has been longlisted for BAFTA 2021 and shown in more than 40 international festivals and selected for Vimeo Staff Pick. As part of the presentation of the film, Dominica toured the UK with two solo shows showcasing printmaking work from the film. Rather than looking at animation solely as a form of cinema, Dominica is interested in presenting her films in the art and design spaces, working in the intersection between animation, performance and installation.
