Title: "Lichtfänger" (Light Catcher)
Description:
Sometimes it is not the grand events that move us, but the small moments full of light – a sunbeam on a wall, the warm glow of an early morning, or the feeling of hope after a long, gray time. "Lichtfänger" tells exactly about these moments.
The bright, translucent-looking layers of color seem to catch and hold the light before it moves on again. Between gentle gray and turquoise tones, warm yellows and oranges break through like memories that suddenly come to life. They give the painting a quiet warmth and an atmosphere of departure and confidence.
Like life itself, the work consists of many layers – traces, encounters, and experiences that overlap and connect. Not everything is clearly discernible, and that is precisely its charm. The painting leaves room for one's own thoughts, feelings, and stories.
"Lichtfänger" invites the viewer to look toward the bright: toward what sustains, what brings hope, and what beauty reveals itself even in the most unremarkable moments. It reminds us that light is not only visible – sometimes it is also something we carry within us.

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 vibrant colors and longevity. His art frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the examination of human emotions, often blurring the lines 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 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 the human experience.
For a painting measuring 200 x 110 cm, you need a canvas frame of size 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 artist or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist on the back and dated.
High-quality and light-fast acrylic paints were used on a multi-primer whiteGallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and thus a one-of-a-kind!

When 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, even painfully uplifted, then art is born.
