In times of a real flood of photographs published on social networks, in addition to the greed of many for the perfection of the images, the artist Mueller looks away in a totally different direction. He makes use of an old Polaroid camera to capture the images, digitizes them and maintains the imperfections that naturally generate surreal elements in the work. The reality of the image is not enough for Mueller, abstraction is present with the reduction of facts, forms and objects. The observer's imagination complements what is absent and creates an invisible layer for what has been dissolved.

In times of a real flood of photographs published on social networks, in addition to the greed of many for the perfection of the images, the artist Mueller looks away in a totally different direction. He makes use of an old Polaroid camera to capture the images, digitizes them and maintains the imperfections that naturally generate surreal elements in the work. The reality of the image is not enough for Mueller, abstraction is present with the reduction of facts, forms and objects. The observer's imagination complements what is absent and creates an invisible layer for what has been dissolved. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
