Title: "Lichtkern" (Light Core)
Description:
In the midst of chaos there is this one point that holds. A center that is not loud, but steadfast. Around it everything splashes, presses, and disperses — thoughts, movements, doubts. Yet inside, something remains warm, concentrated, alive.
The dark circle acts like a shield, perhaps also like a boundary that preserves the essential. The light within isn’t a blinding glare, but a soft existence. A reminder that even in the unordered, meaning can reside.
"Lichtkern" tells of inner clarity. Of the moment when you pause and feel: Here I am. Here is enough.

The canvas will be delivered rolled.
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 meticulously crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. His art frequently engages 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, blending painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him acclaim in Austria as well as internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works invite the viewer to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.
For a painting measuring 200 x 110 cm, you need a stretched canvas frame sized at 190 x 100 cm with a thickness of 2–4 cm.
You can either simply stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist on the back and dated.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were used on a repeatedly white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and therefore unique!

When a person ventures into their 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, at times, unsettlingly supported, then art is born.
