Maria Domínguez, a Latina woman, daughter, wife, artist and educator is committed in serving the needs of her family and community. In the privacy of her studio she enters her inner space and engages in unmasking her soul. The path, often a delicate one, leads her to self - exploration and recurrent discoveries. Domínguez's oeuvre of nude self-portraits is layered with symbolism in a quiet and seductive manner.

Anyone wishing to understand this work further can clearly see a fusion between the spirit and the female. This depiction is her struggle to excavate the individual amidst the mass and trend driven society. It also is a representation of self-acceptance of her body as the vessel for her soul. As a symbol of desire, comfort and nourishment she draws attention to her breast while at the same time the heart portrays stages of her life and the roles others impose on her as a woman.

Mostly, all depictions, serve as an empowering act of exposure towards her traditionally restricting culture. The honesty of her visions vividly illustrates the rewards of critical self-reflection and the gratification of refurbishing the battered soul.
