Theo Koster specialises in landscapes. Early in his career the landscapes were very graphical and full of symbols. Over the years they became more impressionistic and textured. He uses materials and mediums to create effects. His skies are an almost a chemical reaction between paint and other materials, often suggesting heavy weather. The landscapes themselves are full of depth and contain very few elements like trees or houses. Theo Koster finds his inspiration while taking long walks with his dog. The rural Dutch countryside is quite flat and sometimes far from exciting, but the artist’s interpretations are vivid and exciting. This particular painting is a visitor’s favourite and often on display in the museum.

Theo Koster is an internationally oriented artist. He worked in France and later in India and participates in exhibitions all over the world.
