After finishing her A-levels in Great Britain, she studied a foundation course in Art & Design at Leeds College of Art.

From her post as Creative Director,[2] Tiziana Dominguez designed the company’s collections, along with her father.

In May 2011, she presented her first painting exhibition, "Ants, horses & other relatives".[4] This was a figurative, expressionist collection, with a lot of colour, where she mixes oil paints with sand, coffee, sawdust, plants, insects and other materials. Her painting is inspired by animals and nature, and her canvases are often transferred to the prints in the collections presented at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week and her sculptures inspire the designs of the company’s jewellery.
