Title: "Open Nerves"
Description:
"Open Nerves" is a painting full of tension, movement, and unfiltered emotion. The black marks feel like sudden thoughts, inner conflicts, or moments that can’t be restrained. In between, red lines run across the surface — fine, vulnerable, and at the same time full of energy, like a visible pulse.
The work tells of states that everyone knows: overwhelm, intensity, inner restlessness, but also liveliness. Nothing about it feels smooth or controlled. The color splashes, runs, and breaks out — almost as if the painting itself has a heartbeat. That is precisely where its honesty lies.
Despite the apparent wildness, a special balance emerges between chaos and expression. The white background creates room to breathe, while the marks remain as memories or emotions that do not simply disappear.
"Open Nerves" is not a quiet image. It feels. And that is exactly why it feels so approachable.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, primarily created with acrylic paints. Born in 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. In his art, he frequently engages with themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often pushing the boundaries between what is visible and what is not.
Prein’s approach to art is multidimensional, combining painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This distinctive style has earned him recognition both in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works invite viewers 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 canvas frame sized 150 x 120 cm with a thickness of 2–4 cm.
You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artist or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist and dated on the back.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been applied to multiple layers of 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 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 perhaps painfully uplifted, then art is born.
