Rabentinte
Christian Eickelberg, known as Rabentinte, specializes in naive, surreal, and mystical art.
My art moves along the border between the naive and the mystical, between surreal dreamscapes and symbolic density. I create figures, structures, and spaces that do not explain but rather invite intuition and interpretation. Each of my works is an open gateway through which the viewer finds their own access—some stories I tell, others remain hidden. My visual worlds are shaped by an intuitive symbolism that emerges from archetypes, creative coincidences, and personal motifs. I work with strong contrasts, deep shadows, and often earthy, dark tones that evoke emotional depth. My focus is not on depicting visible reality but on unveiling the spaces in between, where dream, myth, and memory intersect. My works hold a tension between control and chaos: lines that take shape deliberately yet develop a life of their own; compositions that emerge from within themselves. My artistic process is one of discovery—I allow my images the space to unfold naturally. Whether in painting, drawing, or experimental formats, my goal is to create not just images but atmospheres. I see my art as a dialogue between the visible and the invisible, between the familiar and the unknown.
