Unique piece – signed by the artist
A celebration of pure, unfiltered color, “Miniature” (2024) by Pascal Courcelles captures the essence of painting as a joyful, intuitive act. This compact yet powerful piece is an exceptional example of the artist’s signature impasto technique, where color becomes matter and matter becomes presence.
Built with thick layers of oil paint applied directly onto wood, the surface is sculptural, the paint swirls and rises in gestures that feel both spontaneous and intentional. Vivid reds and sunny yellows intermingle with soft pinks, airy blues, and lush greens, creating a visual symphony that pulses with energy and movement.
This is a one-of-a-kind artwork (edition 1/1), a singular composition created through direct, physical interaction with the material. It is not a reproduction, this painting exists as a single, unrepeatable moment of creation. It belongs to Courcelles’ current cycle of “miniatures,” where the emotional power of color and gesture is concentrated in small, intimate formats.
Courcelles is a seasoned painter with decades of international exhibitions, known for his ability to turn color into emotion and gesture into form. This work is both a visual object and a tactile experience, a piece that changes with light, angle, and proximity. Its presence is immediate and authentic.
In perfect condition and framed in a deep white box that protects and enhances its relief, the work invites a closer look. Even from afar, one can sense the movement of the artist’s hand, the density of the oil, the freshness of the gesture. Up close, it becomes immersive, each detail a trace of the creative process.
This piece is ideal for collectors who value originality, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a curated selection, “Miniature” offers a striking balance between the immediacy of material and the depth of artistic vision.

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.
