The master of street painting uses streets and wide squares as a huge canvas for painting. German Edgar Mueller creates three-dimensional optical illusion paintings that invite passers-by to take part in a street performance.

Edgar Müller was born in Mulheim/Ruhr on July 10, 1968 and grew up in the countryside in western Germany. His artistic talent for depicting the world around him graphically and picturesquely manifested itself at an early age. At the age of 16, Edgar first took part in a street drawing festival, and when he was 19, he won the competition by reproducing on the asphalt a copy of the painting “Supper at Emmaus” by the Italian artist Caravaggio. Edgar Müller bears the title 'maestro madonnari' (master of street drawing), which is awarded to only a few worthy artists in the world.
From the age of 25, Müller decided to devote his creativity entirely to street painting. He travels throughout Europe, organizes workshops in schools and is one of the organizers and committee members of various street painting festivals.

Edgar Müller's studio is simply open air. He introduces passers-by to the world's masterpieces of talented artists, drawing copies of their paintings simply on the asphalt. It opens up the world of real art to passers-by, forcing them to see and appreciate its depth.
Despite taking courses and studying with famous artists, Edgar is, in fact, self-taught. He is always in search of new forms of representation of drawing. Inspired by the three-dimensional illusion paintings of such eminent masters as Kurt Wenner and Julian Beever, he follows the new art, creating his own style. Based on knowledge of traditional painting and modern techniques, Müller uses a simpler and more graphic language to express his art. He paints in vast city squares, forcing passersby to participate in his fictional illusionary world, making observers part of his visual production.
