Title: "Lost Balance"
Description:
Sometimes a single moment is enough for balance to falter. This painting captures exactly that moment – the transition between order and chaos, between control and letting go. The bold white and black lines break through the calm background like thoughts or feelings that make their way and can no longer be held back.
Yet amidst this apparent unrest, something new arises. Every trace, every splash of color and every movement tells of how, even from imbalance, change and growth can emerge.
"Lost Balance" reminds us that life rarely runs in a straight line, and it is often precisely the phases of wobbling that mark the beginning of a new inner strength. The work invites us to discover beauty in imperfection and to trust that every lost balance can also lead to finding a new one.

The cracks in the image are deliberate.
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 itself. It is precisely through these cracks that the work gains depth and authenticity – nothing is smoothed, nothing hidden.
The canvas is delivered rolled up.
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 often characterized by a minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. In his art, he often incorporates 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 in Austria as well as 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 120 cm, you need a primed frame (stretcher) of size 150 x 110 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can either stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery.
This is a handmade original, signed by the artist on the back and dated.
High-quality, lightfast acrylic paints were used on a repeatedly white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and thus a one-of-a-kind!

When a person enters into their 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 tormented while being propped up, then art is born.

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.
