Biography

Short Biography

Domen Dimovski (1995, Kranj) is an interdisciplinary visual artist working with still and moving images, including in the mediums of painting, printmaking, video, and digital art. Through realistic or abstract contemplative language, his works bring into play the mood of our time, the theme of a world in transition.

After graduating from Ljubljana's High School of Design and Photography, he obtained his bachelor's degree in 2017 from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design at the Department of Painting in the division for Video and New Media, with a project titled King's Democracy. In 2019, he received his master's degree at the same faculty with his animated film The Sand Passage.

He has participated in a number of film festivals and has had 12 solo and 55 group exhibitions. For his work, he has received seven national and two international awards. He has been a member of the Slovenian Association of Fine Arts Societies (ZDSLU) and the Art Society Kranj (LDK) since 2018. In 2019, he started working as a self-employed cultural worker and became a member of the artistic council of the LDK and curator of the Video and New Media division in 2020. He is currently researching the role of art as a truth procedure in contemporary society, in all of its cognitive-affective, aesthetic, and phenomenological structures.
