Artist Profile

Dominique Fam is a Singapore-based illustrator who has been drawing for as long as he can remember. Without any formal training at first, he began drawing and painting as a form of expression for his vivid imagination. Initially intending to pursue a more academic path, he decided to forego traditional college and enrolled in design school after receiving a scholarship to study graphic design when he was sixteenl

Since a picture speaks a thousand words, Dominique often approaches each work as a translation from what he sees in his mind to what a viewer can interact with visually. Because of this, he works in a hyper-realistic style (which he likens to a formal equivalence), as well as more abstract forms (which to a more dynamic equivalence). His subjects range from ‘slice-of-life scenes’ to more philosophical and religious concepts.

In addition to commercial work with branding/advertising agencies, he has done numerous commissioned pieces such as digital paintings/prints. He has also written and illustrated comic books, graphic novels, as well as picture books.
