Title: "Sonnenwasser"
Description:
Some memories have a color. Some feelings a light. "Sonnenwasser" captures this special moment when both converge.
The bright blues and turquoises recall water that catches the light of a summer day and throws it back in a thousand nuances. The yellow accents feel like sunbeams breaking through the surface and making everything glow for a moment. Nothing is sharply defined, and therein lies the freedom of the image. It leaves room for personal memories – warm days, distant places, or moments when time seemed to stand still for a moment.
"Sonnenwasser" speaks of lightness, warmth, and the quiet power of light. It is an invitation to immerse oneself, to let go, and to be carried by the movement of colors. As the play of sun on water, the painting changes with each look and opens up new moods and stories again and again.
It reminds us that the most beautiful moments are often those that cannot be held onto – but only continue to glow within us as a feeling.

*The cracks in the painting are deliberate.*
They are not a sign of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The fractures belong to the surface like scars to the skin: they tell of tension, movement, and the very process itself. Precisely through these cracks the work gains depth and authenticity – nothing is smoothed, nothing hidden.
The canvas is delivered rolled.
Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, mainly created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and durability. In his art, he often includes 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, 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 160 x 90 cm, you need a canvas stretcher frame of size 150 x 80 cm with a thickness of 2–4 cm.
You can then either stretch the canvas yourself or have a craftsman or gallery owner do it for you.
This is a handmade original, signed and dated on the back by the artist.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were applied on multiple coats of white primer on gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and therefore unique!

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, and also painfully drawn up, then art is born.
