The main theme of his work is energy of all kinds, be it radioactivity or the power of the sun. He often illustrates tensions and opposites, for example between heat and cold, in clear geometric shapes.
Van Munster's works can also be seen frequently in public spaces in Germany.
In Ludwigshafen am Rhein, for example, he equipped the Sparkasse Vorderpfalz with light installations; His sunbeam for Heilbronn is mounted on the Heilbronn Wartberg tower.
