This feat lifted the art career of Peter Engels to unseen heights. Prince Albert of Monaco bought the portrait of Grace Kelly. Peter Engels met and painted Karl Lagerfeld. The conspicuous Vintage Portraits of Peter Engels are gleaming, they show emotion and tell life stories. Peter Engels is considered among the top contemporary artists. Peter Engels was born in 1959 in Antwerp, Belgium, where he lives and works. He had a classic art schooling at the Art Academy in his home town and followed master courses in France and Italy. Peter Engels had his first solo exhibition in 1984 and he sold nearly every painting he made. Since then, for almost 30 years, he had exhibitions all over the world. He has paintings hanging in every continent. ART REVOLUTION ______________ In 2005 exhibiting came abruptly to an end when in spring his father died. At that time he made his first -as he calls them- Vintage Portraits painted with the pallet knife in his typical sepia colorite. After 30 years Peter Engels changed to the most difficult discipline in art: portrait painting, and gives it its own personal, unique and contemporary touch. Now he goes for quality. Quality in his work and quality in his selection of exhibitions. High quality is his fierce reaction against abstract art which he says: "Contemporary art is very often hiding a lack of knowhow and knowledge, it is hiding and blurring the lack of technique. Few of the big artists can paint faces anymore. Instead art is flattened to cheap and populist sensationalism with semi-philosophical explanations. We have a vast majority of art critics and art professionals who get cought by these art traps. Time will learn that in order to reanimate Art it is time for an 'Art Revolution'. Back to beauty, back to value, back to quality. The pendulum is bound to return to the center. The art collector of tomorrow is fed up with incompetence." DISTINCT CONTEMPORARY STYLE --------------------------- The reason why European artist Peter Engels is always successful, is probably due to the combination of his unique figurative style, his expert pallet knife technique, his thick, graphic strokes, his sparsely sepia coloured palette and his unique positioning of the head on the canvas. This results in the original, contemporary and pioneering character of his work. His canvases refer to artistic black and white photography and the large hand painted cinema billboards. This artist has a fresh look at knife-painted portraiture. The expressions almost always tell nostalgic and moving life stories. Peter Engels is widely considered as contributing to the revival of portrait and figure painting in a unique contemporary style of his own. In his hands it seems as if the long lost art of portrait painting is rising from its ashes like a phoenix. THE SECRET OF ART COLLECTING ---------------------------- Peter Engels’ Vintage Portraits, sell rapidly. Collectors follow him closely and like to include his work in their collections. Members of listings like Forbes, Fortune and several of the Dutch Quote have commissioned their paintings directly from Peter Engels. "Collectors love the direct and friendly contact," Peter Engels says. "Collecting art is about the relationship with the artist. I invite my clients in my atelier. Gradually they will become friends. Art collecting is all about witnessing the birth and progress of your masterpiece. Art collecting is also drinking a glass of wine or smoking a Cuban with the artist while discussing art in his atelier. Collecting art is all about the memorable moments with the artist that add an important dimension to that work of art. Art collecting is having fun in the first place. The fact that your collectible would be worth more some day is an asset I am working on every day." THE GRACE KELLY PORTRAIT SOLD TO PRINCE ALBERT OF MONACO -------------------------------------------------------- After the portrait of Grace Kelly was exhibited at the famous Monte Carlo casino, it was auctioned. Before the auction the Prince met with Peter Engels and admired the painting. But when the bidding started there was a bidding duel between the Mayor of the medieval village of Eze and the Monaco Palace. When Sotheby’s auctioneer hammered the work as the absolute top of the auction, it appeared that none other than Prince Albert of Monaco bought the beautiful portrait of his deceased mother, Princess Grace. In the dark background of the painting, we recognize the Monaco marina from the sixties by night. For this background, artist Peter Engels based himself on stills from Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller “To Catch a Thief”, in which Grace Kelly and Cary Grant starred alongside one another. TO PAINT THE HEART AND SOUL --------------------------- “I mostly like to paint character heads. Famous actors, writers, politicians, businessmen, musicians.” says Peter Engels. But he also paints commissioned works: beloved ones, husbands, relatives... It is fascinating to see how the thousands of knife strokes gradually begin to form a face and bear the unmistakable signature of the master. Peter Engels says about this himself: “I want to capture that bright, glorious look or expression so that the faces shine, show emotion and real life.” About the painting of Nelson Mandela on Times Square in New York, the international press said that Peter Engels does not only paint the mere physical features, but that he succeeds in capturing the character, the heart and soul of Mandela. WHY ADDING VINTAGE PORTRAITS TO YOUR ART COLLECTION ? ----------------------------------------------------- Peter Engels himself calls his paintings “Vintage Portraits” as he always has famous character heads posing for him. The “vintage” aspect is reinforced by the sepia tones he uses. Paint brushes are of no use here. Peter Engels exclusively paints with the palette knife, conferring the oeuvre a kind of three-dimensionality and a texture that catches the light beautifully. This adds to the conspicuously handmade aspect of the canvases and is in sharp contrast with mass produced images. The knife strokes are so large that the painting seems abstract at a short distance. When watching the work, do this exercise: look at the work from up close and then gradually step back and view it from a distance. The effect is impressive. A typical feature of his very own style are the big close-ups where eyes and mouth are primordial. The rest is decor and falls off the canvas. Peter Engels wants to paint intensively, exhibit worldwide and show his work at the best international art fairs like ArtBasel (Basel and Miami), Frieze and the Armory. MEETING AND PAINTING KARL LAGERFELD ----------------------------------- You can guess what happened when Peter Engels, walking in New York, accidentally bumped into Karl Lagerfeld. It became an impressive canvas of a flamboyant Lagerfeld: sunglasses, bow tie, white ponytail... Exactly the colour contrast that Peter Engels likes to use. In this painting fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld gazes to us through his dark glasses. We barely see his eyes. It is the look of the model, posing and gazing at the painter. In the background Peter Engels painted a blurry city skyline alongside a river. Is it New York where he met Karl Lagerfeld? Or is it Lagerfeld’s hometown Paris? A few touches of red add the only bright colour to the painting and gives it its depth. ADMIRATION HELPS TO PAINT AN OUTSTANDING PORTRAIT ------------------------------------------------- Richard Branson, the founder of an impressive series of Virgin companies, had to be painted as well, Peter Engels thought. “I read his book and his personality intrigued me.” Peter Engels painted pop music icon Madonna as his version of the Mona Lisa: with a soft and mysterious smile, in sharp contrast to the stage beast that we know. On the Indonesian island of Lombok, Michael Jackson was immortalized. You feel the pain. The passion explodes from the canvas. Engels mixed beach sand for extra texture of the paint. The very last portrait of tenor Luciano Pavarotti was painted in Italy by Peter Engels, just a few weeks before the world-famous singer passed away. The portrait of Robert De Niro with cigar is intriguing. The painted canvas is rough, the expression on De Niro’s face says it all. It does not resemble, but is Robert De Niro. Master portraitist Peter Engels painted Hippocrates, the father of medicine. An art collector bought the painting before it was dry. Engels studied the few remaining sculptures that were made of the ancient Greek philosopher and brought him back to life on a large canvas. The penetrating and breath-taking magnum opus is quite contemporary at the same time. The painting actually conceals Hippocrates’ wise words. In Greek, obviously. QUOTE BY THE ARTIST ABOUT THE FLASH IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ----------------------------------------------------------- PETER ENGELS: “The most beautiful thing about painting character heads is the capturing of an emotion. The perpetuation of that significant though brief moment, merely a flash in the infinite universe, I find that quite fascinating. My paintings make people immortal. People who make a difference: famous, infamous, loved, hated, known or unknown. The life stories are all unique with a deep meaning and a charged atmosphere. I like to combine this with a specific and contemporary style, a strong technique and a sepia colorite so that my work is recognizable at first glance.” contact: art@peterengels.eu .

Use this scroll bar to scroll down > > > THE ARTIST 'Painting portraits is my real passion,' Peter Engels says, 'but do not underestimate the glorious feeling of landscape painting under the blue sky of Tuscany or in the south or France'. YOUTH Born 10th of July 1959 in Antwerp, Belgium, Peter Engels has painted portraits as long as he can remember. All of his fellow school students were given paintings, drawings and portraits. At the age of 12 Peter once came home with a big zero for drawing. The teacher simply could not believe that the drawing was made by young Peter. At the art academy Peter was told he had to paint the exact shapes of the models. 'Do not idealise forms and shapes,' they said. That was a good moment to quit. 'In fact,' Peter Engels says, 'that was the moment that I felt like a rebellious artist. From that moment on I worked like crazy to put together an exhibition. My way. When I was about 24, I had my first solo exhibition. I nearly sold every painting I had.' ADOLESCENCE Around the mid eighties, Peter Engels painted tropical views. 'That was what intrigued me: palm trees, emerald seas, white beaches.' And he painted portraits. 'Mainly girls,' he laughs. He also was intrigued by ancient Egypt and some of his paintings were influenced by it. That is when he started to travel more often and visit the places he dreamed about. His interest in art grew to larger proportions. Peter Engels painted, had exhibitions and studied how e.g. Claude Monet, Degas, Edward Hopper and Nico Vrielink made their paintings. He visited exhibitions in Paris, Düsseldorf and Amsterdam. 'I remember at the Monet exhibition in Paris people urged me to stand back from the paintings. I wanted to see how Monet used his brushes. You cannot see that from a distance. People must have thought I was inpolite and ignorant. But, hey, being a painter is a tough business.' VINTAGE PORTRAITS More often Peter Engels had exhibitions together with his father, Marcel Engels, who was a landscape painter. Organising exhibitions became too hard for Marcel Engels. When in the spring of 2005 his father died, Peter Engels stopped organising exhibitions only for himself. He started concentrating on his portraits, his real passion. 'And now It is time for something else,' he said. It is time for large 'Vintage Portraits'. At first coloured portraits, but gradually less colour, more close-up and a very own, distinct style. Notice the large brush strokes and later the use of the palette knife. These portraits in sepia colours were sometimes finished with gold leaf. Less color, more light and maximum expression are the elements Peter Engels ads in order to create a state-of-the-art portrait. His work is strong and graphic with a unique touch. Peter Engels portrayed celebrities like Brigitte Bardot, Ernest Hemingway, Elvis Presley, Ursula Andress, Marlon Brando, Mahatma Gandhi, John F. Kennedy, Julia Roberts, Roger Moore, Toots Thielemans, Marilyn Monroe, Jennifer Lopez, The Beatles, Luciano Pavarotti, The Dalai Lama,... Around 2003 Peter Engels started to paint his large sepia coloured portraits. He calls them 'Vintage Portraits'. At first he painted with the brush but now he only uses the palette knife. Peter Engels paints portraits of people he admires, people with character heads. That is why he painted Nelson Mandela, the man who fought for his cause and was sentenced to lifelong emprisonment, got out after 27 years and still became president. When Mandela turned 90, news agency Reuters decided to put Peter Engels' tribute to the former South-African president on the largest billboard of the world in Times Square, New York. BREAKTHROUGH In 2008 Peter Engels generated international success when his Nelson Mandela portrait appeared on Reuter’s biggest billboard of the world on Times Square, New York, when Mandela became 90. This art stunt boosted Peter Engels’ international artistic career. 'The fact that my Nelson Mandela painting appeared on Times Square changed my career completely,' Peter Engels says. Hundreds of newspapers, magazines, radio and tv stations all over the world reported. And more than twenty two thousand websites mentioned the event. After that the road to succes was open for Peter Engels. What happens when this artist by coincidence runs into fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld at The Mercer Hotel in Soho, New York? Dark glasses, black suit, white ponytail,… Karl Lagerfeld fits precisely the color palette Peter Engels uses. The result is another breathtaking Vintage Portrait. May 2009: Princess Grace Kelly would have become 80 that year. As a tribute, Peter Engels painted her ‘Vintage Portrait’, a most impressive canvas that was on exhibition in the famous Montecarlo Casino and auctioned by Sotheby's in Monaco. Grace Kelly’s son, His Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco was present and bought the painting after being in a bidding duel with Stéphane Cherki, the millionaire mayor of the medieval French village of Eze. This resulted in the highest bid of the entire auction. Peter Engels: 'This is my tribute to one of the most beautiful, stylish, classic women ever. I paint my portraits with the palette knife in my typical sepia colorite, which gives this Grace Kelly portrait its intense vintage look.' Once more Peter Engels masterly painted the soul into this grand Grace Kelly portrait. For the Monaco port anno 1955 (in the background of the painting), Peter Engels based on Hitchcock's thriller 'To Catch a Thief' to paint the stunning view by night over the Monaco bay. STYLE Peter Engels’ artistic uniqueness is highlighted in the way he frames his subjects on canvas, an act of revolutionary creativity. His sepia colorite, his extraordinary style and his particular brand of painting with a palette knife are his unique signature. Peter Engels goes beyond merely painting the physical features; he captures the inner soul. Peter Engels’ ‘Vintage Portraits’ have a rare quality and style, as well as a contemporary artistic, mature look. The art of portrait painting literally receives a new fase, a fresh look in Peter Engels’ work. As if portrait painting rises from the dust like a phenix. 'My way of figurative painting,' Peter Engels says, 'is a reaction against most of the art today, I think. Abstract painting is very often hiding a lack of knowhow, technique and/or time. Think about it. Modern art is overrated. To make art should be an 'Art'. Unique and original. Not something anybody can perform. Everybody can talk. But to speak to a public and say sensible things, that's an art. Anybody can hold a brush, but to paint a resembling portrait with it, that is an art. Throwing bright colours to a canvas can be funny to look at. But it is not art anymore. Anybody can do it. But who is the fool? The one who performs this kind of creative outburst? Or the one who pays a billion for it? The pendulum swings untill it returns to find the centre again. That is what is happening in art today.' And then there are the critics. We all can like the looks of a car. But only few people can really assess that car. It is the same for buildings: we can like the looks of a certain building, but only few people can really appreciate that building with architectural knowledge and structural knowhow on al its qualities. It is the same with art. A critic should at least be able to make art in order to judge. The pseudo critics are killing art. And it is not the one who is shouting the loudest that is right. Painting portraits like Peter Engels does, is profoundly artistic. It requires skill and technique. It requires talent, vision and style. It is creative. And it is not 'l'art pour l'art'. This is pure quality work with a rich composition and a talented, swift technique. Keywords are 'high quality' and 'highly virtuous'. This is the time for Peter Engels to brake through. And this is the time to invest in a Peter Engels. For a Peter Engels will be soon very expensive. We have seen enough of modern art. It is time for Roman aestetics again. It is time for the essence of art: profound artistic beauty based on knowhow. The beauty of these 'Vintage Portraits'.

Since 2003 Peter Engels runs his own painting academy. He has landscape and portrait classes for adults and a class for children. With his step-by-step painting method that he developed himself, he teaches his students how to make a landscape painting in only 3 hours. That is the time that one needs to make a landscape painting on location. For parties, clubs and companies Peter Engels organises team building painting sessions. Peter Engels also teaches one-to-one in private lessons. Peter Engels: 'My pupils like these courses because these lessons are so relaxing and a lot of fun. They quickly achieve good results."
