About the Artwork:

“Weightless Atmosphere II (Crimson)” is an atmospheric abstract painting by Paul Polterauer, pairing the warmth of a crimson field with the lightness of two suspended gestures. Rich red and rose tones gradually descend into deep burgundy, creating a quiet sense of depth behind the pale pink forms.
A slender stroke floats towards the upper right, while a longer, curling gesture moves across the lower left. Their ridged surfaces reveal layers of pink and dark accents, contrasting with the broad, softly blended background. This diagonal relationship gives the painting a gentle movement, allowing each form to stand apart while remaining connected to the other.

In its 60 × 80 cm portrait format, the work balances an expressive palette with a spacious, restrained composition. Its warm colour and sculptural details bring a distinctive presence to a contemporary interior, inviting the viewer to linger between the stillness of the background and the movement of the painted forms.


The artwork is delivered stretched on a sturdy canvas frame and can be hung directly on the wall, however no decorative frame is included.


About the Artist:

"The Austrian painter Paul is a passionate artist since childhood. He formally graduated in art and art history before a successful fifteen-year career as a business and technology executive and pioneering startup founder. Returning to his core passion, for which he won painting competitions at a young age, Paul now dedicates himself full-time to creating artwork, utilizing distinct, hand-carved tools to generate intense, physical, and deeply emotional paintings and structures on canvas. In doing so, he bridges his innovative, structured background with authentic creative expression."

Austriański malarz Paul od dzieciństwa jest pasjonatem sztuki. Formalnie ukończył studia z zakresu sztuki i historii sztuki, zanim rozpoczął udaną piętnastoletnią karierę jako menedżer w biznesie i technologii oraz pionier w zakładaniu startupów. Powracając do swojej podstawowej pasji, dzięki której w młodości zdobywał nagrody za malarstwo, Paul poświęca teraz swój czas tworzeniu dzieł sztuki na pełny etat, wykorzystując charakterystyczne, ręcznie rzeźbione narzędzia do generowania intensywnych, fizycznych i głęboko emocjonalnych obrazów i struktur na płótnie. W ten sposób łączy swoje innowacyjne, uporządkowane tło z autentycznym, twórczym wyrażaniem.
