Title: "Breaking Open"
Description:
In this painting, something seems to be set in motion. Layers of cool blues and whites overlap, flow into one another, and tear apart in places. It looks as if a solid surface is slowly giving way – like ice beginning to crack under pressure.
Between the rough textures and flowing traces, a warm yellow hue emerges. Small, but powerful. Almost like a first ray of light or a sign that something new is already announced beneath the cool surface.
"Breaking Open" tells of this moment of change: the moment when stillness becomes impossible. When something old cracks, creating space for movement, light, and a new beginning.

The canvas is delivered rolled.
Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, mainly created with acrylic paints. Originating from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. His art frequently engages themes of identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often blurring the lines between the visible and the invisible.
Prein’s approach to art is multidimensional, blending painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition in Austria as well as internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works invite viewers to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.
For a painting measuring 210 x 120 cm, a stretched canvas frame of 200 x 110 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm is required.
You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist and dated on the back.
High-quality, lightfast acrylic paints were used on multiple coats of white-grounded gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and therefore unique!
--- Authenticity certificate included ---
Enhance your private residence, law firm, practice, or office and elevate your spaces in an elegant and stylish way.
When a person descends 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—agonizingly—uprisen, then art is born.

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.
