Upwards
Description
The image seems to be in motion – as if something heavy and formless is trying to rise. The shape in the center appears both awkward and determined, as if it is feeling its way step by step upward. The green ground provides it with space but no support – it is alive, vibrating, almost breathing.
"Upward" does not describe a straight path, but an attempt. A striving to stand upright, which also considers failure. The black contour holds the lightness, as if to preserve it from flowing away. And yet, the movement carries hope within it – a quiet continuation, an organic striving that need not be loud or perfect.
It is a human image because it reminds us of our own effort — that moving upward often simply means not standing still.

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 200 x 100 cm you need a stretcher frame of the size of
190 x 90 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
