"I am surprised every time how much life I can observe down there. I feel the freedom and seclusion that inspires me...I like to arrange my work everywhere in my studio so that I can see all the different cities at once. Then I feel the international flair again and when I re-relive all the stories."

Martin Köster is fascinated by the beauty when a city changes at nightfall. Car headlights that dance like lights in the streets, bright restaurant doors that light up the sidewalks - each of these lights has its own story and he loves to translate these stories into art.

The motif of Martin Köster is a city, but the message is hope. The rain is over, and now the lights are dancing on the wet streets. The gloomy streets lead from loneliness to light, a symbol of longing and hope. Köster succeeds in combining this motif with the romance of a big city in order to let the viewer feel the liveliness and pulse of the urban. In order to feel the pulse of the city, Köster likes to climb the highest buildings in the area.

On the roofs he paints his city scenes from above: The viewer discovers the liveliness of the city in his paintings. Many artists draw in nature, but drawing skyscrapers is inspiringly new.
