Peter Engels - "Pablo Picasso Painting Dora Maar" - Original Painting with separate quote - Unique, Signed, COA

Peter Engels Pablo Picasso Painting Dora Maar Portrait (Unique, Signed, COA) – Artist: Peter Engels (internationally acclaimed portraitist) – Title: Pablo Picasso – Painting Dora Maar – Medium: Palette knife painting on cotton canvas – Support: Canvas is stretched on a wooden frame (ready to hang, no decorative frame required) – Size: portrait: 120 x 100 cm, quote: 50 x 20 cm – Edition: Unique, one-of-one artwork signed by the artist – Certificate: Includes official Certificate of Authenticity – Provenance: Exhibited in London, Antwerp, Knokke – Condition: Excellent – Shipping: Worldwide insured delivery. Paintings ship in a solid wooden crate (recommended) or, for lower cost, canvas can be rolled and sent in a sturdy tube. One-of-a-kind portrait by renowned artist Peter Engels, celebrated for his portraits of Nelson Mandela (shown in Times Square on Mandela’s birthday), Brigitte Bardot (with her approval), and Karl Lagerfeld (who called Peter Engels the “painter of his soul”). Prince Albert of Monaco acquired the portrait of his mother Princess Grace Kelly, and Richard Branson modelled live for his portrait painting. Description “Tout ce qui peut être imaginé est réel.” Everything you can imagine is real. That quote by Pablo Picasso ignited a spark in Peter Engels’ creative mind: what if two artists separated by time could share the same studio moment? In "Pablo Picasso – Painting Dora Maar", artist Peter Engels imagines sitting next to Picasso as painting buddies. Picasso sits mid-process, brush in hand, yet instead of being fully absorbed in his canvas, he turns and smiles warmly at Peter Engels, who paints him like that. Picasso's expression is amused, knowing, as though he recognizes the beauty of this impossible encounter. Painted entirely with Engels’ signature palette knife technique, this sepia-toned canvas radiates texture, presence, and reverence. It is more than portraiture. It is a dialogue across generations. The work is accompanied by a second companion canvas, hand-painted with Picasso’s iconic line: “Tout ce qui peut être imaginé est réel.” This transforms the portrait into a philosophical tribute, merging presence with principle. A unique, signed, investment-grade original, "Pablo Picasso – Painting Dora Maar" stands as both artwork and imaginative homage, a timeless bridge between masters.
