Biography of Edgar Mueller
Edgar Mueller, a German 3D artist, is one of the world's best 3D illusion street artists. In 1998, he was awarded the title of Master Street Painter (maestro madonnari) at 'The Grazie Festival', the largest street art festival in the world. Born in 1968 in Mülheim, Ruhr, Edgar Mueller grew up in Straelen, Germany. At the age of 25, he decided to dedicate his entire life to street painting.
Early Career and Travels
Mueller began his career by traveling across Europe, earning a living through his art. Drawing inspiration from three-dimensional illusionary paintings, Edgar continues to remain true to this new form of art and work towards developing his own style. He creates his extraordinary artworks on large surfaces, often in bustling public spaces, transforming dull asphalt into captivating pieces that mesmerize passersby. His unconventional works not only captivate observers but also make them part of a new landscape.
Recognition and Studios
Mueller's exceptional 3D paintings have gained worldwide attention and continue to be widely covered by the media. In addition to his street art, Edgar also opened his own studio, welcoming those eager to learn his art. He conducts additional seminars at various educational institutions. One of his first street murals was created in Moose Jaw, Canada, where he collaborated with local artists to transform a street into a river ending in a waterfall. He also painted a boat carrying towards the waterfall. The artwork covered an area of 280 square meters.
Another significant work by Mueller is the illusion he created in Geldern, Germany, where a massive crack on a street reveals the earth and lava beneath it. His piece 'Ice Age' in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, was part of the Festival of World Culture and covered an area of 250 square meters.
Work in Russia and Personal Life
Edgar Mueller arrived in Moscow, Russia, in 2010, during a period of extreme heat and the aftermath of forest fires. Due to the heat, he decided to work from early morning until noon, avoiding overheating. He was offered the opportunity to paint in the MEGA shopping center but declined, preferring to remain a street artist rather than becoming a decorator for shopping centers.
Before arriving in Moscow, Mueller enjoyed a vacation with friends on the beautiful island of Cres, Croatia. There, he collected a collection of drawings and photographs of the fantastic nature, planning to bring the beauty of the island to Moscow. However, due to the unique climatic conditions in Russia, he decided to choose different names for his works.
Edgar Mueller's fees for his renowned street art remain a mystery, but he stated that he received a sum equivalent to the cost of a good car for his work in Russia.
