Bio

Linda Domke (*1993 in Germany) is a visual artist currently based in Hamburg. Initially trained as a designer at the University of Arts Bremen and Designschool Kolding in Denmark, she now focuses on painting and sculpture.

Her work captures distinctive fragments of her diverse social surroundings, striking a balance between calmness and curiosity. She reflects on the unique pace, habits, and energy of the places and people she encounters.

Linda paints scenes that evoke warmth and timelessness, drawing from memories and small moments that offer an escape from the everyday hustle. Starting with bold colors to match the mood, she transforms those memories into vivid sceneries. Her art is a response to her own need for balance between calmness and curiosity, influenced heavily by her travels. The themes of arrival, adaptation, and returning home are central to her work.

She believes that all places have their own pace—whether fast or slow—which can be captured in paint. Her interest lies in the intersection between her personal rhythm and the rhythms of the places she visits. Through her art, Linda explores how we spend or waste time, and where we create islands of calm, excitement, and connection.
