Oil painting by young German artist Martin Köster

Martin Köster, born in Germany in 1988.

In the thousands of years of human development, the city, as the main result of the advancement and development of human civilization, represents the advancement, innovation, fashion, etc. A city contains many fields, it has its inclusiveness, and it forms a close connection with people's lives, we are in a city street at a certain moment, dazzling, pedestrians, all kinds of colorful "city symbols" are reflected in our eyes. In the current rapid social changes, the future of the city is unknown to us, but it is visible enough in the present.

Martin Köster, a young German artist, focuses on urban portraits. His works are mainly based on urban street scenes, depicting the city at different times of the day. Martin Köster captures the different qualities of cities at different times of the day and presents these subtle changes through oil paintings.

The most fascinating aspect of his depiction of the city's street scenes is the way he captures the slight variations of light in the city at different times of the day, which adds a vivid, soft mood to the city's street scenes. The pedestrians, cars, and tall buildings on the street look particularly charming under the artist's warm and cold tones, so much so that we feel a sense of freshness about the city we live in, and every pore of our body is slightly opened, marveling at how charming and dynamic the street scene is under the artist's brush.
