Dominika, you were born in Poland. Tell us about your childhood and why you chose the modeling business.
Yes, I was born and raised in Poland. I had a lovely childhood. I love my country and its culture. Especially, Polish food – it’s amazing! I had my first photoshoot when I was 14 years old. My family has always supported me. I had my first magazine publication at the age of 18. I always wanted to be a model and had a strong interest in art and fashion That is why chose art at school.
Hopefully, I will have a chance to exhibit my painting at the next Art Basel in Miami
What are the benefits of working as a model in the United States? How did you take advantage of them?
Moving to the US has boosted my career. There are so many possibilities here. In Europe, I always heard that I am too short and my size is too big. In the US, especially in Miami, they’re looking for models in many different sizes and body shapes. I have worked with many international designers. I have fulfilled one of my dreams and I was a part of New York Fashion Week. Now, I am preparing for Miami Swim Week.

You are fond of painting. How would you describe your style?
I paint when I want to express my feelings. It’s very relaxing for me, especially when I am in bad mood. My style is abstract. Hopefully, I will have a chance to exhibit my painting at the next Art Basel in Miami.
I love my country and its culture. Especially, Polish food – it’s amazing!
Tell us about your passion for a healthy lifestyle. What kind of food do you like to cook? Could you share a recipe with our readers?
A healthy lifestyle is very important, especially in modeling. I always care about what I eat. I love cooking fresh meals at home. I always try to choose bio grocery shops. Also, I care about cosmetic ingredients. Before buying a new cosmetic product, I always check if it is good on a special app. It’s very important because many toxic ingredients are transmitted to our body through the skin and, unfortunately, many popular brands use carcinogenic ingredients or hormones. I try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Recently, I’ve taken up Pilates and I really enjoy it.
