Liudmila Domennova

Born in Russia, I traveled to the Caribbean island of Dominica, famous for its wild nature and as a filming location for Pirates of the Caribbean, to work, but truly to just to see the sea. I ended up staying for over two decades. My journey has always been guided by sudden, deep passions: after discovering chess in 2022, I plunged into it so intensely that I represented Dominica on Board 2 at the 45th Chess Olympiad.

When a severe back injury in late 2025 brought unexpected physical boundaries and a profound life pivot, art became my sanctuary and vital force. Working with acrylics on paper and canvas, my practice explores the pure state of happiness and the enchanting magic of nature, transforming personal hardship into vibrant, uplifting expressions of resilience and light.
