« I want my pictures to provoke the imagination and raise questions. Because the unresolved, the fragmentary, and the ambiguous come closest to the essence of our reality. »
Kim Köster was born in Worpswede, in northern Germany. Growing up in this artists' colony, surrounded by dark forests and moors, fostered his artistic ambition and awakened his interest in melancholic, somber, and uncanny themes. At a young age, he entered the global urban art scene, traveling through Europe, Australia, Canada, and South America, and making a name for himself with his work in abandoned industrial ruins.

In 2020, Kim moved his workspace from abandoned spaces to his studio and now works primarily on canvas. His paintings invite the viewer to engage with the unknown. They stimulate the imagination and leave room for ambiguity and unanswered questions.
