Title: "Lightness of Being"
Description:
The gentle greens, whites, and yellows give the painting a bright, almost weightless atmosphere. The colors seem to blend into one another without clinging to each other. Especially the luminous yellow brings warmth and optimism to the calm composition and feels like sunlight slowly filling a room.
Between the fine textures and restrained color fields, a sense of breadth and freedom emerges. Nothing appears loud or intrusive—instead, the painting invites you to let go for a moment and give space to thought. The visible traces and layers repeatedly reveal new details.
"Lightness of Being" speaks of those moments when life seems uncomplicated and the heaviness of everyday life recedes into the background. A painting about calm, confidence, and the special beauty of a moment when everything can just feel a little lighter.
-
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 very process itself. It is precisely through these cracks that the work gains depth and authenticity—nothing smoothed over, nothing hidden.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, predominantly created with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near 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 blurring the lines between the visible and the invisible.
Prein’s approach to art is multidimensional, combining painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition both in Austria and abroad, with exhibitions across Europe, North America, and Asia. His works invite viewers to reflect on the complexities of the modern world and the deeper aspects of human experience.
For a painting with the dimensions 160 x 110 cm, you need a stretched canvas with the size of 150 x 100 cm and a thickness of 2-4 cm.
You can then either simply stretch the canvas yourself or have it stretched by an artisan or gallery.
This is a handmade original, which is signed by the artist and dated on the back.
High-quality and lightfast acrylic paints have been applied on multiple white-primed gallery canvas.
A varnish was also applied to protect the work.
This work is handcrafted and therefore unique!
--- Authenticity certificate included ---
Enhance your private residence, law firm, medical practice, or office and elevate your spaces in an elegant and stylish way.
If a person goes into his innermost depths, into a sphere that rarely comes to light, into a space that is mysteriously and hiddenly waiting to be discovered, tickled awake, and also disruptively uplifted, then art is born.
