Cyril Keller - Kostbare Pause

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

My enthusiasm for art began in the early 1990s with graffiti. Even back then, I was fascinated by colors, forms, and the possibility of giving my ideas a unique expression. This passion still forms the foundation of my work today.

What shaped me most was my teacher and mentor, the artist Parscha Mirghawameddin. I learned to paint from him. His sense of color, his eye for composition, and his artistic experience were of great importance to my development. As his pupil, I could benefit from knowledge and 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 been devoting myself with great enthusiasm to abstract art. I am especially fascinated by the squeegee technique: the interplay of layers of color, the resulting structures, 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 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 picture can mean something different for everyone and reveal new aspects again and again over time.

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 uniquely my own.

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