Hey, It’s Me – Intimate Portrait by Master Artist Peter Engels

Caught in a glance. A whisper of mystery. A moment just for you.

In Hey, It’s Me, internationally acclaimed artist Peter Engels captures a portrait that feels like an unexpected encounter—private, cinematic, and full of emotional tension. This 140 × 100 cm one-off painting, created on Brussels cotton canvas with Engels’ signature palette knife technique, radiates with bold texture and soft sensuality.

The woman stares straight into your eyes, her gaze vulnerable yet teasing—a little shy, a little daring. She clutches the sheets to her chin, bare shoulders visible, suggesting the moment you walked in wasn’t meant to be shared… and yet, here it is. The room is filled with the soft glow of orange and teal light, reflecting off closed horizontal shutters behind her and casting the scene in vintage cinematic tones.

What inspired Engels here is not just the beauty of the subject, but the raw authenticity of human presence. As always, his brush is replaced by a palette knife, giving the painting sculptural depth and emotional immediacy. This isn’t a photograph. It’s a fictional reality—a moment Peter Engels invented and made timeless.

Hey, It’s Me is a painting that lingers. It holds your gaze. It invites you to finish the story. For collectors, this is a piece that blurs the line between art and film, intimacy and power—an emotional, modern masterwork.
