Flamingo — Original Painting by Peter Tigler

Flamingo

A bold, full-body portrait of a flamingo in motion, set against a loose, layered background of greens and earth tones. In Flamingo, 2026, Peter Tigler uses oil paint to build up the bird’s vivid pinks and deep blacks, contrasting sharp detail in the feathers with a more open, painterly surface.

The elongated legs and lifted wing give the figure a sense of movement and balance, while the background remains raw and expressive, with visible brushwork and marks that keep the process in view. The result feels energetic and immediate without losing clarity in the subject.

Bright, direct, and slightly offbeat, this piece captures both the elegance and awkwardness of the flamingo, leaning into Tigler’s interest in everyday observation and material texture.
