I reflect my life experience in non-objective sculptures and prints, these works are subjective, intuitive, my state of mind.My vocabulary consists of a few shapes and colors: circles and ellipses, shades from yellow to red and grays. This is the basis of my search, I draw with this forms and colors until a design feels right. The result is a silk screen print or a three dimensional work. I often combine a mass of small cast sculptures to installations.
The subtle details in a work are as important as the impression from a distance, this together makes a work complete.
“Light and shade are what shape Regi Müller’s installations that are absorbed by the passing viewer in all their changeable ‘activity’.”
