“Preserving nature’s beauty through art”
“Stories of nature, threaded with symbolic elements, to illuminate hope for the future by preserving the past”
MEET ARTIST GABRIELA DOMVILLE
Born and raised in Mexico City, Gabriela Domville was inspired by her Oaxacan grandmother’s passion for self-expression through dress. Determined to pursue a career in fashion and design, she spent years in the textile industry. Following this period the artist studied ceramics, photography and painting. Her technique is also reflective of her years studying in England. Gaby settled in the coastal Southern California city of La Jolla, and currently exhibits across San Diego County and California.
Artist’s Philosophy
A Dialogue Between Things
For Gabriela Domville, art is a dialogue between elements, a perfect weaving of personal history and nature. A feather; a key; her grandmother’s teacup. Domville’s mixed media practice draws from a vocabulary of symbols honoring and preserving moments from the past that unfold in the present time.

Art Collection
In a visit at the Museum of Natural History, my eyes were captured by two inspiring exhibits in which birds were presented in a non-traditional position: wings flat, legs tied with a string and a tag dangling from them. These birds are specimens of study. Each one of them has invaluable information and is unique on its own. As a nature lover, I wanted to capture their beauty. I started the bird collection with the intent to provoke a sense of urgency with regard to climatic changes, global warming and human interaction with the environment.
“Each bird is an individual letter building the words and sentences that describe the deep history of our planet.”

“Our scarves collection was born with a purpose … that of capturing nature’s beauty but also with the purpose to save endangered species, especially birds”
Amazed by the bird’s striking beauty and vibrancy of their colored feathers, we created the scarves collection to bring awareness of the need for preservation.
For each scarf we sell, we are contributing part of our revenues to non-profit organizations that pursue that goal.
