Title: "Winterhauch"
Description:
In this image lies the quiet, clear mood of a winter morning. Bright white and blue tones spread across the surface like cold breath, while delicate traces and fine layers of color recall frozen landscapes, fog, and the first light of the day. Nothing appears sharply defined—everything seems to be taking shape just now or slowly dissolving again.
The few warm color nuances insert small, almost surprising signs into this cool world. They remind us that even in the deepest winter silence somewhere warmth and life remain hidden. "Winterhauch" speaks of a fleeting moment between cold and light—calm, light, and full of quiet beauty.
-
The cracks in the painting are intentional.
They are not signs of damage, but part of the artistic expression. The fissures belong to the surface as scars to the skin: they tell of tension, movement, and the very process itself. Precisely through these cracks the work gains depth and authenticity—nothing is smoothed, nothing hidden.

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 their minimalist, abstract style and are meticulously crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and durability. 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, 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 often 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 110 cm you would need a stretcher frame sized 150 x 100 cm with 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 and lightfast acrylic paints were applied on a repeatedly white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handmade and thus 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 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 tormentedly propped up, then art is born.
