Dominik Ambroise is a Haitian American abstract artist based in South Florida whose work centers on resilience, healing, and joy. Born and raise in Port-au-Prince, she experienced a life-changing car accident at age 20 that left her with visible scars and deeply affected her self-image. For years, she hid behind clothing and silence, until she found painting, a sanctuary where she could process pain and transform vulnerability into beauty.
Dominik began drawing in 1982 while studying Childhood Education, a path that reflects her commitment to emotional growth and creative expression. She later expanded into painting in 2000 and, after immigrating to the U.S. in 2006, refined her technique through courses at Miami Dade College and classes at Oolite Arts and the Pérez Art Museum Miami.
Her abstract work is rich with textured layers, bold colors, and expressive movement. Using palette knives and unconventional objects, she creates surfaces that reflect both her inner journey and her desire to uplift others. Her latest solo exhibition, Unbreakable Light, presented as part of the Epic Art Residency 2025, celebrates transformation, self-acceptance, and the joyful power of embracing one's true self.
