Eva Mueller is a NewYork-based photographer and conceptual artist. She studied graphic design in her native Germany and fashion and portrait photography at ICP and Parsons School of Design in New York.

Mueller had a long careeras a fashion and music photographer before shifting focus to fine art and portraiture. Her life long love for the German Bauhaus school of design informs her iconic style and minimalist aesthetic. Mueller’s work takes a deeper look at the core constructs of our human existence, such as gender identity, race,and sexuality. She challenges the viewer to reconsider their perspective and question their judgments.

In the wake of Covid-19 and during isolating at her live-work space, Mueller started a virtual portrait series, I SEE YOU, where she shoots people all over the world through FaceTime and Whats App. After George Floyd’s murder and the ensuing calls for racial justice, Mueller now shoots only black and brown people for the series, alongside the question: “How can white people be better allies?” 

Mueller’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally. 

Mueller currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Artist Statement:
Eva Mueller says, "I see beauty in the weird and I am drawn to anything that evokes uncertainty. I love ambiguity. Growing up in a world of constant contradictions informed my artistic expression. Most of my work revolves around basic issues like age, gender, race, and sexuality.

I approach every new project with a sense of humor and practicality. I like to work intuitively, starting only with a rough idea and then allow the work to evolve.

Mysolation is an inward journey, expressed through self-portraits during my isolation time the height of the pandemic in New York.  It is a diary of moods, self-exploration, solitude, loneliness, grief and solitude.

My goal is, to make the viewer question their judgment, and reconsider their perspective."
