Various Takes on Flamingo Art

Beautifully colored and uniquely tall, flamingos are a stunning species. Whether you see them at the zoo or get the privilege to observe them out in their natural habitat, these creatures are truly eye-catching. In honor of Bird Day tomorrow, we’re celebrating with a curation full of flamingos displayed in classic and unexpected assortments. 

These feathered friends are a perfect example of “you are what you eat”. They get their pretty pink coloring from the carotenoids in the plants, algae, and brine shrimp they consume. It’s this delightful hue that makes them a wonderful model for art, along with the charming visual of them standing on one leg. While it’s not completely known as to why they have this stance, some studies say it’s due to “regulation of body temperature, conservation of energy, or merely to dry out the legs”. These mesmerizing attributes have inspired artists across many mediums to showcase these extraordinary beings through a variety of portrayals.

Sometimes seen in their signature pose, other times shown in a more unusual light, this curation is all about these flamboyant and fabulous birds. Despite focusing on the same subject, each of these artists created their own interpretations with a range of styles. From the delicate energy of watercolors to the playfulness of pop surreal scenes to the fascination of realistic paintings, this collection contains a mix of depictions. Full of beachy vibes, soft serenity, and a touch of fun, we think flamingo artwork is a great way to bring some wild yet graceful feelings to your space.

Whether you prefer sandy strolls, floral fusions, or captivating close-ups, these various takes on flamingo art can help you show off your love for these animals.
