Unique piece – signed by the artist
“Belle Lumière” (2025) is a luminous and poetic work by Pascal Courcelles — a canvas that captures the quiet beauty of a moment suspended in time. With its shimmering palette and rich texture, this unique piece invites the viewer into a dreamlike aquatic world, where koi fish drift among blooming water lilies in a delicate choreography of color and light.
Executed in mixed media on canvas, the painting showcases Courcelles’ signature impasto technique, where thick, expressive brushstrokes bring depth and vitality to every element. The surface shimmers with layered tones of turquoise, lavender, pale yellow, and coral — punctuated by sculptural flashes of orange, red, and gold. Each detail is built by hand, giving the work a tactile presence that echoes the lush serenity of a floating garden.
“Belle Lumière” is a one-of-a-kind creation (edition 1/1) that bridges figuration and abstraction with effortless grace. While the subject evokes natural forms — koi, petals, water — the execution remains intuitive and free, resulting in a work that is at once representational and evocatively open-ended. There is no duplication of this piece; it is a singular expression within Courcelles’ expanding body of work.
This piece stands out within Courcelles’ recent production for its lyrical approach and immersive atmosphere. It’s a visual meditation on beauty, stillness, and movement — crafted with both mastery and spontaneity. For collectors seeking artworks that merge material richness with emotional resonance, “Belle Lumière” offers both sensory delight and conceptual depth.
In excellent condition and ready to hang, the work has a strong visual presence — yet retains a softness that allows it to breathe. The impasto areas rise from the canvas like petals floating on the water’s surface, catching the light throughout the day. From afar, the composition feels tranquil and harmonious; up close, it reveals surprising detail and texture.
Ideal for those who seek beauty without sentimentality, poetry without pretense. “Belle Lumière” is a sophisticated, contemplative work that speaks to both nature and imagination. It offers not just an image, but an experience — one that continues to unfold the longer one spends in its presence.

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.
