Title: "Beyond the Form"
Description:
This painting invites you not to cling to clear shapes, but to open yourself to what arises between them. Colors, surfaces and contrasts meet, overlap, and create space for one’s own thoughts and feelings.
"Beyond the Form" tells no definite story – it opens rather a dialogue with the observer. Each look can reveal something new: tension, calm, memory, or a fresh start. Thus the painting becomes a personal experience that goes far beyond what is visible.
-
The cracks in the image are intentional. They are not a sign of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The breaks belong to the surface as scars belong to the skin: they tell of tension, movement, and the very process. 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 bei Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully produced from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. In his art he frequently engages 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 consider the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.
For a painting with dimensions 160 x 130 cm you need a stretcher frame of size 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 art craftsman or gallery.
This is a handmade original, which is signed by the artist on the back and dated by year.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been applied on multiple white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and therefore unique!
--- Authenticity certificate included ---
Beautify your private residence, law firm, practice, or office and upgrade your premises in an elegant and stylish way.
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, also tormentingly propped up, then art is born.

Seller's Story
My name is Christoph Prein, a freelance artist from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld. I have been painting for many years, especially acrylic painting. My abstract acrylic paintings and my classic works of art are made from high-quality materials. I only work with the finest artist acrylic and other selected products. All acrylic paintings are signed by me, dated to the year and sealed with a final varnish. I attach great importance to originality and confirm that each painting is handmade and therefore unique.
