Cyril Keller - Goldene Stadt

My name is Cyril Keller. I was born on September 12, 1978, in Saarland.

My enthusiasm for art began in the early 1990s with graffiti. Even back then, colors, shapes, and the possibility of giving my ideas their own expression fascinated me. This passion still forms the foundation of my work today.

What deeply shaped me was my teacher and mentor, the artist Parscha Mirghawameddin. I learned to paint from him. His sense for color, his eye for composition, and his artistic experience were of great importance for my development. As his pupil, I could benefit from a knowledge and a passion that accompany me to this day.

I am very grateful to Parscha for sharing his experiences with me and for supporting me on my artistic path. Learning from him was a special opportunity for me. On this basis, I developed my own visual language and found my personal approach to painting.

Since 2015 I have devoted myself with great enthusiasm to abstract art. I am especially fascinated by the squeegee technique: the interplay of color layers, the structures that arise, and the surprising forms that give each painting its own character. In doing so, learned craft meets intuition and joy of experimentation.

My paintings are meant to enliven spaces, evoke emotions, and give their viewers lasting pleasure. Each work leaves room for one's own thoughts and discoveries. It is precisely this openness that makes abstract painting so special to me: a painting can mean something different for every person and, over time, reveal new facets again and again.

With every canvas I develop my work further — carried by my artistic roots, the valuable impulses of my teacher, and the desire to create something of my own.

The canvas is unstretched and is carefully rolled in a shipping tube. An authenticity certificate is included in the delivery.
