Bernd Zimmer, born in Planegg in 1948, was a co-initiator of the Berlin Galerie am Moritzplatz, founded in 1977, and is a representative of “Heftige Malerei”. He studied philosophy and religious studies at the Free University of Berlin from 1973.

His often large-format paintings initially focused on nature in deliberate contrast to the big city of Berlin. After a two-year stay in Rome, where he received a scholarship from the Villa Massimo, Bernd Zimmer has lived and worked in Polling in Upper Bavaria since 1984. Impressions from travel, nature, literature and philosophy are echoed in Zimmer's colorful works, as is his examination of the natural sciences and the cosmos, to which all forms of existence ultimately belong.
