Eva Mendes – Kiss Me Portrait Painted at Sea by Peter Engels 🟢

Eva Mendes – Kiss Me | Portrait Painted at Sea by Peter Engels

Where muse meets movement, and the sea leaves its mark.

In one of his most daring and intimate works, Peter Engels painted the radiant Eva Mendes aboard a sailing catamaran in the Balearic Sea. Titled Kiss Me, this 90 x 90 cm portrait is not only a tribute to cinematic beauty — it’s also a portrait infused with the natural rhythm of the open waters.

As the boat gently swayed, so too did Engels’ palette knife, recording the motion of the sea directly onto the canvas. Each textured stroke holds the story of wind, waves, and creative flow. The result? A painting that breathes, pulses — and lives.

Eva Mendes’ expression is soft and inviting, yet powerful. The delicate light, captured across her face and lips, is subtly amplified by the organic shifts in texture brought on by the movement of the boat. There is nothing staged here — only authenticity, intimacy, and a sense of raw connection.

“Kiss Me” is not just a portrait. It’s an experience on canvas. A moment suspended between sky and sea, where subject and setting converge to inspire something unforgettable.

This rare one-off artwork is accompanied by a video of the live painting session, giving collectors insight into a truly unique process. It is a celebration of spontaneity, feminine energy, and the artistic courage to let nature play its part.

Whether displayed in a modern gallery or a private collection, Kiss Me by Peter Engels tells a story of freedom, beauty, and the art of letting go.
