Cyril Keller - Violette Archäologie

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 then colors, shapes, and the possibility of giving my ideas a distinct expression fascinated me. This passion remains the foundation of my work to this day.

I was especially shaped by my teacher and mentor, the artist Parscha Mirghawameddin. It was with him that I learned to paint. His sense for colors, his eye for composition, and his artistic experience were of great importance for my development. As his student, I could benefit from a knowledge and a passion that still accompany me today.

I am very grateful to Parscha for sharing his experiences with me and 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 resulting textures, and the surprising forms that give each painting its own character. In this process, learned craft meets intuition and the joy of experimentation.

My paintings are meant to enliven spaces, evoke emotions, and give their viewers long-lasting pleasure. Each work leaves room for personal thoughts and discoveries. It is precisely this openness that makes abstract painting so special to me: a painting can mean something different for everyone and, over time, reveal new sides again and again.

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

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