Title: "Gold under Ash"
Description:
Sometimes the most valuable thing is not laid out openly before us, but hidden under layers of time, experiences and scars. This work tells the story of exactly that power: of the light that persists even where darkness and chaos have left traces.
Between rough textures, deep black and grey tones, golden surfaces emerge like signs of hope, courage and inner strength. They remind us that even after loss, change or hard times something precious remains – something that cannot be destroyed.
The painting invites a closer look: behind the obvious lies warmth, life and a new beginning. For often the true gold is found exactly where one would only suspect ashes.

The canvas will be delivered rolled.
Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created mainly 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 vibrant colours and longevity. In his art he frequently engages 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, combining 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 the human experience.
For a painting measuring 160 x 130 cm you need a stretcher frame sized 150 x 120 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can then either simply stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery professional.
This is a handmade original, signed and dated on the back by the artist.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints were used on multiple coats of white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and thus a one-of-a-kind!

If 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, also distressingly set upright, then art is born.
