Dominik Robert Brunner "It's not about the destination for me, but about the journey." The young talented artist Dominik Robert Born in 1990 in Fürth (Bavaria), he grew up in a sheltered parental home in a nearby village. This environment has left a lasting impression on him. When he talks about his childhood and youth, his eyes light up: sitting around a campfire with friends, enjoying the moment, without thinking about the future... He associates the memory of this time with the words fun, joy of life, and the feeling of freedom. Nature has been of central importance to him since early childhood: as a place for playful activities, gathering strength, and inspiration. When asked how he got into art, a smile appears on his face: "Actually, I was really bad at art in school." But that changed suddenly in sixth grade. There was a project in art class: "Build Your Dream House." Domink Robert was so enthusiastic about the project that he devoted many hours of detailed work building a house, his dream house. A house with several floors. And during the construction, he felt: "This is mine." From seventh grade onward, his dream job was to become a technical draftsman: to create something on paper, accurately, and if possible, three-dimensional – this idea fascinated him. Although Dominik Robert Brunner would have liked to become a chef, he chose to train as a wholesale and retail salesperson. Initially, he was employed at a company that manufactured fixtures for large businesses. He also worked in a nursery, where he later transferred after his training. He enjoyed designing spaces with plants. During this time, Dominik Robert was 17, and his then-best friend gave him a set of oil paints. Dominik Robert started to paint - "extremely abstract," as he calls it. Professionally, Dominik Robert moved to a furniture store. He soon took on managerial responsibility there. He was only able to be a little creative there. He found balance in vegetable and herb cultivation and in cooking. The death of his grandfather in April 2016 was a deeply impactful event for Dominik. He fell into a deep hole and stopped letting anyone get close to him. At the same time, he realized that he needed something to help him cope with the situation. When he was at the hardware store with his father, he decided to buy spray cans and painted his first comic. This brought him so much joy that he started painting with acrylics on canvas. Initially, they were small formats for himself and friends. Later, he created a large painting that now adorns his dining room. It depicts a happy dog, joyfully making its way. It is Dominik's favorite picture. Dominik Robert began experimenting. Looking back, he feels that he has never felt so free and happy as during this time, full of energy. Eventually, he discovered abstract painting for himself. Dominik Robert is still heavily inspired by his grandfather. He often remembers the time they spent together and what was important to his grandfather. He imparted values to him. Dominik Robert also appreciated that he always openly expressed what he thought and felt, and followed his straightforward path. Nature also inspires Dominik. He consciously perceives it, paying attention to the little things, to the colors. He loves spring the most, when everything in nature begins to bloom, the birds chirp, the sunbeams warm him, and he is fascinated by the play of shadows. Music also inspires him. Each of his paintings is influenced by music... from classical music to hip-hop... every genre leaves its mark on the canvas. Dominik Robert enjoys experimenting: his works are characterized by a variety of techniques and materials. He paints on canvas, paper, wood—and uses acrylic, ink, oil, chalk, pastels, and bleach. He also uses sand, plaster, concrete, clay, and rock flour. Next, he wants to experiment with metal. Each of his images tells of a particular life situation in his life. Dominik Robert wants to express his own emotions through his pictures. At the same time, his goal is to give the viewer pleasure. He wants to put them into a trance and help them forget or better cope with difficult everyday situations. That's why he has an extremely high standard for himself. Look forward to many fascinating images by this extraordinary artist. Dr. Norbert Dennerlein Text and interview
