Pelicans - Original Painting by Peter Tigler

Artist: Peter Tigler
Title: Pelicans, 2026
Medium: Oil on reclaimed wood
Dimensions: 34 h × 47 w inches

This original pelican painting captures the distinctive presence and quiet character of these coastal birds through a combination of careful observation and expressive surface treatment. Painted in oil on reclaimed wood, the pelicans emerge against the natural character of the wood, allowing the irregularities and texture of the surface to become part of the composition.

The scale of the work gives the birds a strong physical presence, while the reclaimed wood introduces warmth and material depth. Subtle variations in paint and surface texture reveal the handmade quality of the work and create a visual relationship between the subject and its unconventional support.

A piece of contemporary bird art that feels grounded, atmospheric, and tactile. The combination of natural material and observed subject makes this one-of-a-kind pelican artwork compelling both up close and from across the room.

Ideal for collectors seeking pelican wall art, contemporary coastal artwork, or modern bird paintings that bring natural subjects into a more materially expressive setting. A substantial statement piece for modern, coastal, rustic, or gallery-style interiors.
