Unique piece – signed by the artist
A vibrant explosion of color and texture condensed into a compact format, “Miniature” (2024) by Pascal Courcelles is a one-of-a-kind oil painting that redefines the relationship between painting and sculpture. With impasto layers so thick they seem to defy gravity, this piece invites not only the eye, but the senses.
What makes this work truly unique is its physicality, the sculptural quality of the paint, which stands proud from the wood surface in peaks and waves, almost like a topography of emotion. Each color is applied in its purest form: joyful yellows, vivid reds, airy blues, lush greens. They interact in an intuitive rhythm, a spontaneous harmony that reflects the artist’s deep relationship with matter and gesture.
This is not just a painting to look at; it’s one to experience. Framed in a deep white box frame that preserves and enhances its relief, the piece is in excellent condition and ready to hang. Even without seeing it in person, one can imagine the movement of the palette knife, the density of the material, the energy captured in the moment of creation.
This is a unique edition (1/1), there is no reproduction, no second version. It is a singular expression of Courcelles’ mature artistic language: intuitive, joyful, grounded in decades of exploration and exhibitions across Europe, Japan, and the Middle East. For collectors who seek originality and emotion in a tangible form, this piece offers both.
Created in 2024, this painting belongs to a recent cycle of “miniatures,” where Courcelles condenses the strength of his larger compositions into small, powerful formats — ideal for intimate spaces or curated walls where scale and presence need to strike a delicate balance.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate materiality, gesture, and authenticity. This piece will resonate with those who value works that spark curiosity and dialogue. It’s a painting that lives beyond the surface, a bold, tactile celebration of color and form.

Born in Brussels in 1956, Courcelles studied art at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels and in
Tournai, between 1972 and 1979. Since then, he has built a vibrant artistic path, with solo and
group exhibitions across Belgium, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, and beyond. But it is his visual language
that leaves the deepest impression: profoundly sensorial, composed of layers, material, and color,
not as an end, but as a process.
His painting is part of a material lineage, where comparisons have been made with Michel Frère
or even Eugène Leroy. But unlike Leroy, whose brushstroke carried a nearly tragic pathos,
Courcelles paints from a vital impulse, in celebration of life. With each gesture bursts forth the joy
of color, the pleasure of chromatic vibration. His admiration for Riopelle is clear: both artists
explore the interweaving and layering of color, often in their pure state, explosive, like emotional
fireworks.
The work of Pascal Courcelles does not ask to be understood — it asks to be felt. It is vibration,
intuition, pleasure. And above all, it is a celebration of what is most simple and most essential: the
joy of painting.
