Title: "Sturzflug" (Dive)
Description:
This painting looks like a frozen moment just before impact. The black lines and splashes do not seem randomly laid down, but fallen into place – quickly, unstoppable, almost headfirst. It is as if something has lost its grip and hurled itself with full force into the void.
And yet there is more to it than chaos. In the traces there is movement; in the disorder a sense of direction. The "Sturzflug" tells of losing control, but also of courage – of the moment when you let go, not knowing what waits below.
It is a very human moment: this fall, this surrender to speed, to the unknown. Perhaps it is not an end but a transition – raw, intense, and inescapable.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, mostly created with acrylic paints. Originally 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. In his art he frequently addresses themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often blurring the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
Prein’s approach to art is multidimensional, merging 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 often invite the viewer to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.
For a painting measuring 160 x 130 cm, you need a stretched canvas of 150 x 120 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an art handler or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist on the back and dated to the year.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were used on a multi-times white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handcrafted and therefore unique!

When a person ventures into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysteriously and secretly waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, and also painfully sustained, then art is born.
