Dominic Timm (b. 1998, Munich) is a German artist based in Augsburg. He studied theatre and Slavic literatures, a background that informs his exploration of images and their cultural significance.

Timm’s paintings originate from found photographs—often sourced from Instagram—that strike him with a sense of gravitas. Even in lighthearted or ordinary scenes, he seeks out an underlying seriousness, which is then heightened and transformed through the act of painting.

His work investigates how meaning is constructed in contemporary life through self-images, social media, and everyday documentation. Moving between solemnity and irony, his paintings open a space where the ordinary becomes monumental, and the personal becomes universal.

Within this framework, the creation and distribution of prints takes on particular significance for Timm. It mirrors the spread of desires, needs, and ideas—transmitted from one person to another. By multiplying an original painting, he underscores how ideology is both constructed and consumed in everyday life.
