Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi is the cinematic portrait painting by Belgian artist Peter Engels, created with his signature palette knife technique in warm sepia colours.
The painting shows actor Ewan McGregor in the iconic role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, holding his lightsaber with calm strength and quiet determination. The work combines the atmosphere of classic portraiture with the visual language of science fiction.
In the background, two suns refer to the Star Wars universe, adding a subtle cinematic horizon behind the figure. The sepia tones give the portrait a timeless, almost historical presence, while the rough texture of the palette knife brings movement and energy to the surface.
The most striking detail is the lightsaber. Peter painted it with fluorescent paint, so the light beam glows in the dark. By day, the work reads as a powerful sepia portrait. In darkness, the lightsaber comes alive, giving the painting a second dimension.
The artwork was commissioned by and shipped to the famous Saber Museum in Singapore. It is not only a portrait of a beloved film character, but also a collector’s piece where painting, cinema and light meet on one canvas.
