Torn, thrown, alive
Description
This painting feels like a moment when something internal was flung outward – raw, unfiltered, and without regard for perfection. The black and red splashes seem like impulses that could no longer be stopped. Each drop carries a small decision within it, a sudden jolt, a release.
It’s as if the image itself took a deep breath and expelled everything that had built up. The colors meet the surface as if to say, 'Here I am. This is real.'
Despite the fragmentation, a strange form of liveliness emerges. Nothing is ordered, but everything pulses. The chaotic lines remind us of what it feels like when emotions break open simultaneously – anger, energy, courage, vulnerability, and somewhere within it, a spark of freedom.
The picture shows not decay, but movement. Not anger, but expression. It is a testament to the fact that life is sometimes loud, uncontrolled, surprising — and that’s precisely why it is true.

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.
