Cyril Keller - Karmesinroter Samt

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, I was fascinated by colors, shapes, and the possibility of giving my ideas a unique expression. This passion continues to form 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 color, his eye for composition, and his artistic experience were of great importance for my development. As his pupil, I was able to benefit 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 for me. On this basis I developed my own visual language and found my personal approach to painting.

Since 2015 I have devoted myself to abstract art with great enthusiasm. I am particularly 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, the learned craft combines with intuition and joy of experimentation.

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

With every canvas I further 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. An authenticity certificate is included in the delivery.
