       In 1994, at 30 years of age and working as an accountant, Frederico Domondon sold his "Water Lilies" for $250. In 1996, he sold his "Pond in Giverny" for $3,000. Four years later, "Villa in Alassio" was sold for $10,000. Six months afterwards, "Casa Sevilla" sold for $20,000. There seems to be a pattern in a Frederico Domondon original, that is, the value keeps appreciating. Currently, at 38 years of age, Frederico has accomplished something that a lot of artists have not: he has sold over 1,000 of his own paintings, whether originals or giclees, from $250 to $20,000. Being a prolific artist has helped: Frederico painted over 500 originals in the last 8 years. These are phenomenal records for a self-taught artist of his generation or of any generations.
       Domondon’s paintings have an undefinable quality of speaking emotionally to people, whether in terms of color or their unique Monet-meets-Matisse-meets-Van Gogh style. Frederico's work is strongly influenced by the Master Impressionists and has often been compared to them. Some art critics have suggested that "some of Domondon's works belong to museums". Take a close look at his paintings and ask yourself, "How come I don’t have a Domondon original on my wall? I wonder what the value of his original paintings will be in the next five years?".
       In fact, most Domondon collectors have bought his work for purely personal reasons, not as an investment. However, wouldn't it be nice to own something beautiful and very valuable at the same time?
