Diesen Moment wünsche ich jeder Mama mit ihrem Kind. Wenn die Zeit stehen bleibt und ihr zwei irgendwo auf dieser Welt seid und miteinander redet. Über das letzte spannende Buch, über die Lieblingsfarben, über die Sorgen der Zukunft, über die kleinsten Kleinigkeiten, die nur für euch 2 die wichtigsten Themen sind. Und deswegen seid ihr irgendwo in einem Café und die Zeit steht. Und das Leben lächelt mit euch mit, weil so viel Glück an einem Tisch grade passt.

Galeria Azur Paris POP-UP

Art as an encounter ,Paris becomes the stage once again.
During the week of Art Basel, Galeria Azur presents the third edition of its Paris Pop-up , a meeting point between artists, artworks, and collectors, brought together by a shared impulse: the desire to connect with something that moves us, challenges us, and ultimately transforms us.
Art is not simply observed. Art happens.
It happens when an artwork meets a gaze. When an image lingers. When a gesture, a material, or an idea crosses the distance between the artist and the viewer.Collecting is the continuation of that encounter.
To collect is to choose what speaks to us, what unsettles us, what reflects us, what we wish to preserve. It is to create a relationship with time through art. Because a collection is never merely an accumulation of objects; it is the invisible po

Some moments from Los Angeles.

Artists beside their works, visitors pausing, looking, talking, moving through the space these are the moments when an exhibition becomes more than a presentation of objects and begins to feel truly alive.

Across painting, drawing, installation, photography, and mixed media, each work carried its own language, while together they created a space for encounter, curiosity, and exchange.

A few glimpses of the people, the works, and the conversations that shaped these days at MICA Studios.

Nikolas Köster is a young German artist whose practice focuses primarily on drawing, portraiture, and still life. Working with pencil and coloured pencil on paper, he combines precise observation with a sensitive approach to light, shadow, proportion, and character.

Köster’s portraits seek not merely to reproduce physical appearance, but to capture the personality and character of his subjects. His figures are carefully observed, with details such as facial expressions, gestures, folds, and posture contributing to works that are described as quiet, honest, and often marked by a subtle sense of melancholy.

A recurring interest in his work is the relationship between personality, time, and transience. Alongside portraits, Köster creates detailed still lifes, particularly depictions of iconic wine and spirits bottles, distinguished by precision, patience, and a strong sense of aesthetics.

His artistic development began at a young age, and his work was already presented in solo exhibitions in Berlin during his youth. He gained wider attention through a feature in the German newspaper B.Z., which described him as “Berlin’s art star of tomorrow.”

Die Amerika Reise war auf jeden Fall das Verrückteste, was ich bis jetzt gemacht habe. I mean:
6 Tage, davon so ca.25 Stunden im Flugzeug und der Rest der Zeit:
Eine faszinierende Reise, voller Eindrücke, neuer Orte und einem permanenten Gefühl, dass ich Alice im Wunderland bin😅😜
Las Vegas, Los Angeles: was wir in diesen Paar Tagen gesehen haben, war eigentlich nur möglich, weil unsere Freunde @oksana_kolenitchenko & @daniel_kolenitchenko jeden Tag stündlich durchgeplant haben! Die bunte Welt der Hotels, Casinos und Shows von Vegas, dazu die atemberaubende Natur der Wüste. LA hat uns mit den schönsten Ausblicken der Laguna Beach empfangen und das Kunstprojekt von @nikolas_koester war der emotionale Moment von uns allen. Danach die Spaziergänge und Fahrten durch die Stadt, die Atmosphäre und Luft von dieser Metropole einatmen und über die größte Abwechslung des Stadtbildes stauen.
Die letzten Stunden vor dem Abflug haben wir am Strand verbracht und haben uns mal wieder gewundert, wie wir das immer schaffen, uns so selten zu sehen und dann gleich auf Anhieb total wohl zu fühlen. Das muss die Freundschaft sein😉
Was für ein Trip!

Wir haben endlich die Koffer gepackt und in dieser Minute wurde mir klar, dass ich das größte Abenteuer meines Lebens morgen mit meinem Sohn starte. Es ist nicht nur der Flug ans andere Ende der Erde. Es ist ein unbeschreibliches Gefühl, dass ich es miterleben darf, dass Niki seine Bilder am anderen Ende der Erde ausstellt. Mein Mann und ich verstehen, dass Niki schon jetzt zu spüren bekommt, was das bedeutet, für eine Idee zu brennen. Für etwas zu kämpfen. Fleißig zu sein. Immer zu lernen, sich immer zu entwickeln. Und sich dabei treu zu bleiben. Nicht das Leben der anderen zu leben, sondern seins jede Minute wahrzunehmen.
Morgen geht’s nach Amerika. Wir berichten😉
