In August 2026, Franco-Belgian Painter engraver Karel Vereycken was informed that Culturale Lab, a major platform, selected his work, in particular his recent watercolor Minerva, goddess of Peace, to be included in « 100 Watercolour Artists of Europe – 2026 », to come out and reach the bookstores at the end of this year.

This curated volume, says Culturale Lab, is « a physical printed watercolour collection book, that brings together and celebrates the talent of 100 watercolour artists shaping contemporary watercolour across Europe. »

« Watercolour is one of the oldest and most beloved of media — luminous, immediate and unforgiving — yet it is too rarely celebrated in print on its own terms. « 100 Watercolour Artists of Europe 2026″ puts it at the centre: one hundred voices, styles and stories, gathered in a single, beautiful volume that will endure over time. »
