Lionfish by Peter Tigler — Original Painting

Artist: Peter Tigler
Title: Lionfish, 2026
Medium: Oil & Acrylic on masonite
Dimensions: 23 h × 24 w inches

This original lionfish painting captures the distinctive form of Pterois volitans through a restrained palette of soft ivory, sand, and muted copper tones. The fish appears to drift across the composition, its delicate fins and distinctive silhouette rendered with a quiet sense of movement and presence.

Painted on masonite, the work embraces the natural variation of the raw ground, allowing subtle shifts in surface and texture to remain visible. The understated palette and open composition create a contemporary interpretation of a marine subject while maintaining the tactile quality of the painted surface.

A piece of contemporary marine art that feels atmospheric, refined, and visually immersive. Subtle tonal shifts and surface variations emerge on closer inspection, giving this one-of-a-kind lionfish artwork a quiet depth that rewards repeated viewing.

Ideal for collectors seeking lionfish wall art, contemporary ocean artwork, or modern marine paintings that bring natural subjects into a more restrained, gallery-oriented setting. A sophisticated statement piece for modern, coastal, or minimalist interiors.
