Director Biography - Dominik Wein

"A brand new genre" Dominik Wein is a pioneer in this surprising fusion of film, photography, digital, and traditional art. He is currently living and working between Berlin/Germany and Alaró/Spain

Wein was born in Frankfurt/Main Germany, grew up, graduated high school, and studied design in South Africa. He did various internships in film and digital imaging in Los Angeles, Johannesburg, and Munich.

Wein started painting at the age of 7. His first sold painting was an oil painting of Willian Shakespeare that he sold at age 21.

In the 1990s Wein was one of the best-booked digital artists in Europe, creating digital collages for companies like FOCUS, ELLE, The Jane Goodall Institute, and Virgin Records.

He also created the first digital art poster for FC Bayern Munich. He was one of the first artists to combine digital processes and traditional art. Wein pioneered a digital/analog camera as he brought film into his art.

But the ART scene told him to stick to ONE style!

So, from 2010 to 2020, he created THE HISTORY EXHIBITION In this exhibition, he used many pseudonyms for many different art styles.

He wrote stories around the pseudonyms and an unbelievable art family was born. The ART scene and press loved this concept and Wein's exhibition was shown in many different galleries.
By creating all the artwork, Dominik made a name for himself.

In 2023 he decided to move ahead with some styles, that he loves the most.
Dominik Wein´s Art is exceptional: he uses many different skills like painting, filming & digital imaging. Originals, Prints, Films, and NFTs are created.

His ART is evolving, it has continued for MANY years, expanding all the time. But most of all, WEIN´s Art and Films, are powerful, passionate, and cutting-edge!
