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 powerful white and black lines break through the calm background like thoughts or feelings that make their way and can no longer be held back.

But in the midst of this apparent unrest something new emerges. Every trace, every splash of color and every movement tells that even from imbalance, change and development can grow.

"Lost Balance" reminds us that life rarely runs in a straight line and that precisely the phases of wobbling often mark the beginning of a new inner strength. The work invites you to discover beauty in imperfection and to trust that every lost balance can also lead to a new one.

-

The cracks in the painting are intentional.
They are not a sign of damage but part of the artistic expression. The folds belong to the surface as scars to the skin: they tell of tension, movement and the process itself. It is precisely through these cracks that the work gains depth and authenticity – nothing is smoothed, nothing hidden.

The canvas will be delivered rolled.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, primarily created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein’s pieces are often characterized by their minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently 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, blending 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 invite viewers to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.

For a painting with the dimensions 160 x 120 cm you need a cradle/frame size of 150 x 110 cm and a depth of 2-4 cm.

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 tormentingly brought to light, then art is born.
