BY ANY MEANS

"By Any Means" is a heartfelt presentation of artist Dominic Willkom’s journey, paying tribute to his childhood dream. From a young age, Dominic always knew he wanted to be an artist, but the path to making this dream a reality has been full of challenges, and unexpected turns. The name of this exhibition, "By Any Means," reflects the belief he has held on to throughout his journey—to keep moving forward,‘by any means necessary.’

Dominic was born in Sydney and is currently based in Marrickville. He is a multidisciplinary artist with a primary focus on creating vibrant paintings while also exploring sculpture, installation and video. Being a Filipino Australian, his work is infused with influences from Southeast Asian culture, while also drawing inspiration from artists like Vincent van Gogh, David Choe, and Hayao Miyazaki. Dominic aspires to bring depth and accessibility to his work, utilising bold compositions, rich colours and intricate details to create stories that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Dominic's work has been featured in several notable exhibitions, including PRESSED by Arthouse Selective (Melbourne, Australia). He has also been recognised as a finalist in the 2024 and 2025 Blacktown City Art Prize and is a recipient of the Blacktown City Creative Arts Fund grant.

Scieppan Gallery is committed to supporting local and emerging artists, promoting a diverse range of visual art practices. Dominic’s work embodies this spirit—his creative practice is fearless, breaking boundaries and continually exploring the possibilities of self and art. Scieppan Gallery warmly invites you to experience this visual celebration of dreams, perseverance, and creative strength
