Open position
Description
This image draws nothing in – it reveals. At the center, something remains unprotected, raw, and visible. The circular movement seems like an attempt to find stability, but everything that gathers rubs against this open spot. Black holds firm, red reminds us that something has happened here – or is still happening.
The traces feel physical, almost breathing. They are not decorative but honest. As if someone had the courage not to smooth out, not to hide. The open spot is not a flaw but a state: vulnerable, alive, perceptible.
It circles around her, telling of closeness and distance at the same time. Of the human need to protect wounds without silencing them. This image remains where it hurts — and it is precisely in this that its strength lies.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created primarily with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein's pieces are often characterized by their minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. His art frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often pushing the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
Prein's approach to art is multidimensional, combining painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition both in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. His works often invite the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.

Seller's Story
My name is Christoph Prein, a freelance artist from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld. I have been painting for many years, especially acrylic painting. My abstract acrylic paintings and my classic works of art are made from high-quality materials. I only work with the finest artist acrylic and other selected products. All acrylic paintings are signed by me, dated to the year and sealed with a final varnish. I attach great importance to originality and confirm that each painting is handmade and therefore unique.
