Paul Riedmüller

Paul Riedmüller is an artist born in 1989 in Graz, now living and working in Vienna, Austria. Through his work, he explores the shifting boundary between reality and the virtual realm.

“I want to maintain my connection to the ‘real world,’ and yet I constantly question what is real”, he says.

Here, the traditional concept of still life is redefined by blending digital aesthetics with everyday observations - nature, city streets, and small, often-overlooked details. He deconstructs and reinterprets ordinary subjects, echoing the approach of Baroque painters.


But rather than a meditation on mortality, the viewer is challeged to question how our contemporary reality is shaped by digital imagery, simulations and AI.
