Pablo Picasso – Painting Dora Maar | Portrait by Peter Engels

“Tout ce qui peut être imaginé est réel.”
Everything you can imagine is real.

That iconic quote by Pablo Picasso ignited a spark in the creative mind of contemporary portrait master Peter Engels. What if Picasso wasn’t alone while painting his muse? What if another artist — from another time — could share that intimate, electrified moment of creation?

With Pablo Picasso – Painting Dora Maar, Peter Engels brings that imagined encounter vividly to life. The result is a captivating portrait where Picasso sits mid-process, brush in hand, yet not entirely lost in his own world. Instead, he turns and smiles, looking directly at Engels — and at us.

It’s a warm, amused expression. As though Picasso knows how strange and beautiful this moment is: two artists separated by time, yet connected by inspiration.

Painted entirely with Engels’ signature palette knife technique, this textured one-off canvas radiates life, emotion, and reverence. The subdued sepia tones evoke both vintage elegance and timeless artistic spirit.

This collector’s piece comes with a second companion canvas, hand-painted by Peter Engels with Picasso’s unforgettable line:

“Tout ce qui peut être imaginé est réel.”
Everything you can imagine is real.

In a single painting, Engels captures not only Picasso’s presence, but also his philosophy, and the magic of imagination that links artists across generations.

A true conversation between masters. A moment that never happened — but could have.

A textured, story-rich treasure for collectors of fine art, history, surrealism, and investment-grade portraiture.
