Description: Painted during his presidency, this "Barack Obama" painting, Portrait by Peter Engels, captures the optimism and charisma of America’s 44th President. With a warm smile directed at the viewer, Obama appears in sepia tones enriched with subtle hints of red and blue from the Stars and Stripes waving in the background. This visual structure echoes Engels’ portrait of Herman Van Rompuy, the first European President, a pairing that symbolized, at the time, a new era of leadership on both sides of the Atlantic. Executed with Engels’ signature palette knife technique, the painting radiates texture and depth, transforming a political portrait into an emotional statement. This work has been exhibited in Miami, New York, and Brussels, and was featured in both television broadcasts and newspapers, a testament to its cultural resonance and public recognition. A rare, signed original, "Barack Obama" portrait stands as a collector’s piece at the intersection of art, history, and leadership.
