Mundinger

1982 — Berlin, Germany

Johannes Mundinger is a Berlin-based painter working at the intersection of muralism, abstraction, and spatial dialogue. Originally trained in design and painting in Münster and Brussels, Mundinger gained recognition through large-scale wall paintings in public space before expanding his practice into works on canvas, glass, and wood.

His paintings are defined by a gestural, intuitive approach. Color, rhythm, and spatial composition play central roles — references to architecture, landscape or organic movement often emerge, yet remain deliberately open and unresolved. Rather than illustrating, Mundinger constructs atmospheres: moments that evoke memory, emotion or association, while resisting clear narrative. Art historian Christiane Meixner described his process as "improvised and developed in painting itself — led not by a concept, but by the act of seeing and responding."

Recurring throughout his work is the motif of the window — not as a literal element, but as a structural metaphor: a threshold between interior and exterior, between presence and absence, between what is revealed and what remains hidden. His paintings invite contemplation, while holding space for ambiguity and change.

Mundinger’s work has been shown in institutions and galleries across Europe, and his murals can be found in cities from Berlin to Seoul. Whether on walls or canvas, his art exists in active conversation with the space it inhabits
