Cyril Keller - Sightseeing - Paris

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 remains the foundation of my work to this day.

I have been especially shaped by my teacher and mentor, the artist Parscha Mirghawameddin. With him I learned to paint. His feel for color, his eye for composition, and his artistic experience were of great importance for my development. As his pupil, I benefited from 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. 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 drawn to the squeegee technique: the interplay of color layers, the resulting structures, and the surprising shapes that give each painting its own character. Here, learned craft combines with intuition and the joy of experimentation.

My paintings should enliven spaces, evoke emotions, and bring viewers lasting joy. 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 everyone and, over time, reveal new facets again and again.

With every canvas I continue to develop my work—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 for dispatch. An authenticity certificate is included with the delivery.
