Title: "Shimmering Memory"
Description:
As if through a fine veil of rain and time, fragments of color emerge — luminous, fleeting, almost tangible. Blue settles calmingly over the surface, as if to wrap the world in silence, while yellow and red light traces flash like small heartbeats from the depths. Nothing is clearly outlined, yet everything feels familiar.
It is as if you are remembering something you can no longer name precisely — a place, an encounter, a feeling. The contours blur, details dissolve, but the essential remains: a warm afterglow inside. The colors resemble traces of a past that does not want to be held onto, but only softly glints.
The painting carries this quiet melancholy within it, the kind that memories often accompany — not heavy, but soft. It tells of the past not vanishing but transforming. Into a shimmer. Into a feeling. Into something that remains, even when it cannot be held onto.

The canvas is delivered rolled up.
Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, primarily created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully produced from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the examination 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 in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works invite the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.
For a painting measuring 200 x 110 cm, you need a stretcher frame of 190 x 100 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can either simply stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by a craftsperson or gallery.
This is a handmade original, which is signed by the artist on the back and dated.
High-quality, lightfast acrylic paints were used on multiple-layer, white-primed gallery canvas.
Likewise, a varnish was applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and thus a one-of-a-kind!
--- Certificate of authenticity included ---
Beautify your private residence, law firm, practice, or office and enhance your spaces in an elegant and stylish way.
If a person goes into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysterious and hidden, waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, and also painfully uplifted, then art is born.
