After the Second World War, Mulas first began studying law in Milan, but dropped out to take courses at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera . He frequented the Bar Giamaica , a meeting place for artists, poets and intellectuals. There his interest in photography increased. His aesthetic personal style is influenced by Italian neorealism .
His models were not only artists and writers, but also people in waiting halls or suburbs in Milan, especially in the beginning. However, his preference was for art: from 1954 to 1972 he regularly photographed works and artists at the Biennale di Venezia , in 1962 he held the important open-air sculpture exhibition as part of the 4th Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto with works by well-known artists such as Alexander Calder , David Smith, and Arnaldo Pomodoro . Together with the Italian theater director Giorgio Strehler , from the early 1960s he developed stage designs that were based on Bertolt Brecht's concept of alienation. The poetry collection Ossi-di-seppia by Eugenio Montale inspired Mulas to create a series of nature photographs in 1962/63.
Mulas worked as a magazine, advertising and fashion photographer and carried out advertising contracts for Pirelli and Olivetti , among others .
