Dominique Muñoz is a Guatemalan-American visual artist whose practice spans photography, printmaking, performance, and installation. Rooted in personal and familial history, Muñoz explores the entanglements of assimilation, queerness, and cultural survival. He considers how photography functions as both an archive and an agent of power, challenging its colonial and heteronormative histories, subverting portraiture into a site of resilience. Through a maximalist approach that embraces the excess of color, pattern, and texture, Muñoz constructs visual languages that honor both origin and transformation.

Muñoz grew up in Fairfax, VA, and recently earned his MFA in Studio Art from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2025 and his BFA in Photography and Film from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015. Muñoz was awarded the 2025 Denis Roussel Fellowship at the Center for Fine Art Photography and has attended residencies at Storm King Art Center, ACRE, and Ox-Bow School of Art as a LeRoy Neiman Fellow. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, including Candela Books & Gallery (Richmond, VA), the Greenville Museum of Art (Greenville, NC), The National Building Museum (Washington, DC), Silver Eye Center for Photography (Pittsburgh, PA), 1415 Gallery (Albuquerque, NM), and Lump Gallery (Raleigh, NC)
