“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.“ – Wassily Kandinsky 

When hopelessness, sadness and despair take over our lives, it seems as if a thick veil of gray sticks to everything we once held dear. But when the veil finally lifts, the colors come to life with unprecedented intensity. Colors are energy: magical and unpredictable, nurturing and healing, believes Gitti Müller. 

In Müller’s abstract paintings, she finds a means of expression through her love for colors mixed with her life’s stormy encounters. 

Born 1956 in Cologne, she left Germany at the age of 18 and lived for several years in Paris and in South America. Back in Cologne, she caught up on her high school diploma and later studied Anthropology, German and Romance studies at the University of Bonn and at the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano in Puno, Peru. 

As an Anthropologist, she conducted research in Bolivia on the traditional use of coca among the Aymara Indians and on the socialization of indigenous children at Lake Titicaca, topics she later pursued as a journalist. Since 1994, she has worked as a filmmaker and author, through which she has received numerous awards for her features, films and documentaries. She published an autobiographical novel about traveling in South America in analog and digital times (Comeback mit Backpack, Piper Verlag). Since 2023, she has been dedicating herself to Art.
