Title: "Freely Forward"
Description:
Bold pink lines run through the bright surface with palpable energy, cross each other and move forward with determination. Black traces and bright yellow paint splatters provide lively accents in between. Nothing appears still or fixed – the whole painting seems filled with movement and a spirit of departure.
"Freely Forward" tells of the moment when you stop looking back and choose your own path. The lines follow no given order. They change direction, meet each other, yet keep going. Exactly in this lies the painting's special freedom: Not every step has to be planned to reach the goal.
The work conveys courage, energy, and a zest for change. It reminds us that freedom also means making decisions, allowing new paths, and facing the unknown with openness. "Freely Forward" is a painting about movement – and about the power to simply go ahead.
-
The cracks in the painting are intentional.
They are not signs 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 process itself. It is precisely through these cracks that the work gains depth and authenticity – nothing is smoothed out, nothing hidden.

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 crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vivid colors and longevity. In his art, he frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the examination 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 often invite viewers to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.
For a painting measuring 200 x 100 cm, you need a stretcher frame of 190 x 90 cm with a thickness of 2-4 cm.

When a person delves 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, and even provocatively upright, then art is born.
