Peter Engels - "Peter Engels Selfportrait" – Original Palette Knife Painting - Unique, Signed, with Certificate of

Peter Engels Self-Portrait (Unique, Signed, COA, Art Basel Miami) – Artist: Peter Engels (internationally acclaimed portraitist) – Title: Peter Engels Self-Portrait – Medium: Palette knife painting on canvas – Support: Stretched on wooden frame (ready to hang, no decorative frame required) – Size: 50 × 50 cm – Edition: Unique, one-of-one artwork signed by the artist – Certificate: Includes official Certificate of Authenticity – Provenance: Created for Solo Art Miami exhibition during Art Basel Miami, Florida – 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 painting 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 A rare and intimate work: Peter Engels’ own self-portrait. Created for his exhibition during Art Basel Miami, this 50 × 50 cm painting captures the artist through his own eyes, painted directly by looking into the mirror. The composition shows Engels close-up, looking toward the viewer with a faint smile, a casual lock of hair falling across his forehead. Executed with his signature palette knife technique, the portrait is bold yet personal, layering texture and sculptural strokes onto a deeply introspective subject. Unlike his famous portrayals of world icons, here Engels turns his gaze inward, offering collectors a glimpse of the man behind the masterpieces. Rarely does a portraitist of international acclaim paint himself. This signed one-off self-portrait stands as both a document of the artist’s career and a statement of presence within the global art scene. For collectors, this 'Peter Engels Self-Portrait" is an investment in authenticity. It is an intimate cornerstone of Peter Engels’ oeuvre with the unique Miami Art Week provenance.
