The Trembling of the Light
Description
"The trembling of the light" is a visual flicker—a moment of captured uncertainty between shadow and radiation. This painting feels like early morning, when the light isn't quite sure if it truly wants to stay. It cautiously explores the surface, encounters resistance, vibrates, hesitates.
The vivid yellow is not just bright — it is nervous. It pulses, as if it were breathing, flickering, whispering. In between, black lines and splatters spread out, like thoughts or memories that suddenly surface and overlay everything. They seem like shadows that are unsure of their own form. Fleeting. Fragile.
There is a feeling that the light tries to fill a room that is not made for it. It struggles with the dark shapes for space, for expression — but never with violence. Rather with a quiet persistence.
"The trembling of the light" is not a picture that screams – it whispers. It shows the moment just before the decision, when light and darkness still do not want to fully part ways. A picture like a feeling you can't grasp – but know exactly.

Christoph Prein is an Austrian artist known for his abstract and contemporary works, created primarily with acrylic paints. Originally from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld, Prein's pieces are often characterized by their minimalist, abstract style and are carefully crafted from high-quality materials to ensure vibrant colors and longevity. His art frequently explores themes such as identity, memory, and the exploration of human emotions, often pushing the boundaries between the visible and the invisible.
Prein's approach to art is multidimensional, combining painting with elements of sculpture and installation. This unique style has earned him recognition both in Austria and internationally, with exhibitions throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. His works often invite the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the modern world and the deeper aspects of the human experience.

Seller's Story
My name is Christoph Prein, a freelance artist from St. Margarethen near Knittelfeld. I have been painting for many years, especially acrylic painting. My abstract acrylic paintings and my classic works of art are made from high-quality materials. I only work with the finest artist acrylic and other selected products. All acrylic paintings are signed by me, dated to the year and sealed with a final varnish. I attach great importance to originality and confirm that each painting is handmade and therefore unique.
