Moritz Müller is a Finnish-German young artist whose work explores independence, complex emotions, and identity through portrait photography, music, and makeup. 

Müller began his artistic journey in 2016, starting with make up. He soon expanded to self-portrait photography shortly after. Music on the other hand has always been a part of Müller's life, but it wasn't until he published his first songs in 2019 that he began considering music a part of his artistic career.
