Edgar Mueller 3D Street Artist

Edgar Mueller Country of Origin: Germany Born on July 10, 1968 Edgar went to high school in the town of Geldern, where international competitions for street artists took place. One day one his way to school he decided to enter the competition at the age of 16. He continued to compete and three years later he won the competition. This inspires me because he began at such a young age and had to ambition to compete with artists that had more experience than him. He didn’t let the more experienced artists intimidate him!

Evolution Evolution inspires me because it shows how much energy and dimension is hidden beneath the Earth that we don’t always remember is there.

Quote From Mueller “I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice about everything they see…”

Why Edgar Mueller inspires me. Edgar can make any area of cement come to life. He makes an ordinary, everyday scene become extraordinary. His pieces bring joy and amazement to anyone who is lucky enough to come across them. When people see his pieces they exercise their imagination by pretending to actually be in the scene he created.
