A unique piece by artist Christoph Prein — UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL PAINTING — 100% HAND-PAINTED — image description and real-time certificate included!

Balancing Act

This image feels like a moment of pause, exactly between forward momentum and holding back. The vibrant blue background acts as an inner space – stable but not calm. Within it, the yellow circle traces its path, uncertain yet determined, as if trying to maintain balance while everything around it is in motion.

Splashes, cracks, and overlays tell of disturbances, external influences, and internal conflicts. Nothing is smooth, nothing perfectly controlled. And that is precisely the humanity of this balancing act: in constant readjustment, in gentle swaying, in continuing despite the unrest.

The picture reminds us that balance is not a state to be reached and held, but an ongoing action. A silent struggle, a delicate balancing act — again and again, anew, always in the present.

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.


For a painting measuring 160 x 120 cm you need a stretcher frame with the size of
150 x 110 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.

You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery professional.



This is a handcrafted original, signed and dated by the artist on the back.

High-quality, light-resistant acrylic paints were used on gallery canvas primed several times in white.

A varnish was also applied to protect the work.



This work is handmade and therefore unique!



Authenticity certificate included

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.
