Description from the seller
An expressive abstract work driven by dynamic, spontaneous brushwork. Broad gestures intersect, overlap, and dissolve, creating a continuous sense of movement and tension. Built through layers of improvisation and rework, the composition balances density with open space. Rooted in Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting, this piece preserves the raw immediacy of the gesture, where control meets chance.
Artwork size: 150 x 97 cm
Year: 2026
Technique: Acrylic on canvas
Signature: Hand signed by the artist on the reverse
Provenance: Directly from the artist’s studio
A signed Certificate of Authenticity is included, specifying the title, technique, dimensions and year of completion.
Canvas & Mounting
The artwork is painted on cotton canvas and is shipped rolled and unmounted for safe and economical international transport.
The canvas dimensions include an extra 5 to 10 cm margin of painted material per side. This border allows the artwork to be professionally stretched onto a frame.
The canvas is securely packaged for transport and shipped with a tracking number.
Photographs & Colours
Colours may vary slightly between the original artwork and the photographs due to lighting conditions, photographic equipment, camera settings and differences between screens or display devices.
Some photographs may be digitally staged or composed to show the artwork in different interior settings. These images are for illustrative purposes only; the proportions and apparent size of the artwork in such settings may not correspond to its actual dimensions. Please refer to the dimensions stated in the listing for the exact size of the work.
About the Artist
Étienne Pixa is a Franco-German artist based in Berlin. Classically trained in graphic arts and design, he also developed a photographic practice in his youth, sharpening his keen sense of observation and visual composition.
A self-taught painter since 2000 as well as a musician, his work revolves around improvisation and spontaneous mark-making. Navigating freely between abstraction and figuration, Pixa approaches the canvas as an open field of experimentation—embracing the unexpected, deconstructing, and reorganizing forms in pursuit of a dynamic balance.
Centering intuition and creative freedom, he offers open-ended visual narratives that invite viewers to engage with the artwork and project their own perceptions onto the canvas.
His practice explores the space between abstraction and figuration through gesture, movement and colour. Working primarily with acrylic paint, he combines spontaneous mark-making with layered compositions, drawing on the traditions of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting.
