Christoph Mueller
*1958, CH
Painting & Graphic Artist.
In his works, painter and graphic artist Christoph Mueller embodies the drama of art by taking familiar motifs and themes from art history and giving them a new dynamism and intensity. By combining traditional painting and contemporary digital techniques, his works create a fascinating tension.
Overall, Christoph Muller's works embody a connection between tradition and innovation, between history and the present. They show that the intensity of artistic expression is not only to be found in the works themselves, but also in the way they are created. Mueller intensifies the drama of art through his unique approach and offers the viewer a new perspective.
