Armin Köstlich is a painter, draftsman, and printmaker based in Germany whose works have been featured in solo exhibitions nationally. In the age of technical possibilities with digital cameras and visualization software, illustration has become artistically uninteresting for him. Köstlich's current artistic his approach is based on "pure creation" which is not expressed through any particular style, medium, or technique. He most often creates using pigments, tempera, oils, and acrylics.
