Cyril Keller - Selbstvertrauen

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 their own expression fascinated me. This passion continues to form the foundation of my work today.

I was especially shaped by my teacher and mentor, the artist Parscha Mirghawameddin. From him 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 was able to benefit from knowledge and a passion that still accompany me today.

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 ardently devoted myself to abstract art. I am particularly fascinated by the squeegee technique: the interplay of color layers, the resulting structures, and the surprising forms that give each painting its own character. Here, learned craft merges with intuition and a joy of experimentation.

My paintings are meant to enliven spaces, evoke emotions, and give viewers long-lasting delight. 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 every person 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. An authenticity certificate is included in the delivery.
