Recent Testimonials and Critiques by Collectors World-Wide
In this frenetic world, so dominated by advertising and by manipulative visual imagery; where one is constantly being bombarded by hijacked and commercialized images – the gentle calm of abstraction becomes both a refuge and an inspiration. And that’s exactly what Taylor gives us.
Be it in paintings or photographs, the play of light, textures, colour and form seduce us into his calm contemplative abstract world. And freed from manipulation, suddenly one can sing one’s own song, think one’s own thoughts, make one’s own journey.
There’s something monumental about his work which demands your attention. And having got it, time slows and the journey begins. For me, it’s as though he puts a microscope on the soul; and there in the smallness of things is reflected the infinite possibilities of the universe.
On a simpler level, it’s just a joy to live with. It makes me smile, it makes me happy and together we sing.
"from an established collector in Rio de Janeiro"
Five years ago I had the pleasure of first seeing Taylor's work displayed in the window of one of the most prestigious decorating shops in Geneva, Interiors. From the first time I laid my eyes on his paintings, I was totally captivated as they emanated a special energy, aura and talent. Their bold, yet soothing colours, abstract design and originality showed someone of special skill and character.
I subsequently asked the owners to introduce me to him and when we met I understood why these paintings were so special. Dominic is a gifted man of passion, reason, practicality, flexibility and imagination. He combines all of those ingredients and manages to provide exactly what his client is looking for.
At the time I was moving into a new house, filled with space and light. My first painting, called "SERENITY" set the style and design of my bedroom, providing a soothing yet powerful vitality, colours that were rich, natural, producing spiritual yet tranquil energy. I have since purchased numerous artworks, and they proudly adorn many rooms in my home, adding a bold, original strength and presence.
Over the past few years I witnessed the evolution of his style, and different mediums, and see his talent blossom and grow. One feels how life, experience and feelings have helped make his work so distinctive and today you feel and sense an artist in full bloom. He has however remained true to himself, a man with an open mind, heart and soul, continuing his journey and path and creating and developing his gift, interpreting his feelings and knowledge, all resulting in stunning works of art and design.
He is an absolute pleasure to work with, managing to balance the artist and professional, and continues to offer guide and support his clients with advice and an open mind that is unlike any other artist i have ever met. I am honoured to know him, and proud to be the owner of many of his paintings.

Nous avons fait connaissance de tes tableaux en 2004 à Cape Cod (Massachussets-USA), lors d’un séjour chez des amis en communs.

Tes œuvres nous entourent au quotidien, à la maison, au bureau et prochainement dans notre chalet à Gstaad.
