Dornberg was born in California in 1940.  He studied painting at the University of California in Los Angeles.  Since 1995 he has produced over 1000 oil paintings.  His “Slices from Life” series depicts subjects from his lifetime surroundings.  He has created approximately 25 sculptures with cast resin and welded iron.  His paintings have been published on several Book Covers. 

Dornberg believes that an artist should look for the ELEMENTS that make art great.  These ELEMENTS include; relationships of objects, shapes, lines, spaces and colors.   They also include rhythm (repetition) and balance (essential and complimentary).  Looking for these ELEMENTS occurs when an artist looks at any work, including his own.  An artist should learn by looking and at the same time, explore and invent.  While subject matter is important, it should remain subservient to these ELEMENTS.
