Original artwork description:

This original watercolor painting of a (Sarcoramphus papa) features a detailed bird portrait with vibrant colors, exotic textures, and expressive wildlife character. Perfect for bird lovers and collectors of unique animal art, this vulture artwork showcases the bird’s striking beak, colorful wattle, and piercing gaze.
The King Vulture is one of the most striking birds of the New World — revered by ancient Maya civilizations and instantly recognizable by its bald head with yellow and orange caruncles. Despite its somewhat grotesque appearance, it plays a vital role in ecosystems as a scavenger, keeping nature clean and balanced.

This painting is part of my series “Crests and Beaks,” where I explore how birds express their character through their forms, textures, and coloration — much like we do with fashion or facial expressions. I was captivated by how nature masterfully blends what seems “unusual” into something harmonious and deeply individual.

Created with artist-grade watercolors on 100% cotton paper, the piece captures subtle transitions between warm and cool tones, soft feathers, and complex skin textures. From violet shadows to ochre folds, each detail is carefully observed and delicately painted to celebrate the bird’s grandeur.
