Paint Peel Paintings

Inspired by my family life of growing up on tour, traveling the world surrounded by magic, costumes, showgirls, models, exotic animals, and abstract landscapes.

About Me

Tatiana Hantig (b.1983) is a first generation American-Czech painter and photographer. She explores concepts of landscape, female form, and animals using a paint peel method.

Raised abroad with her parents magic show production, The Fercos Untamed Illusions, she toured throughout her child hood and adult life to locations such as Asia, Europe, North and South America. Her experiences growing up was a combination of raising exotic felines, constant travel living in hotels, motels and trailer tours, as well as being surrounded by performers of all types.

Throughout their travels, Las Vegas was a place to call home. Hantig attended the University of Las Vegas, Nevada where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography.

Her paintings and photography have taken her to ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan multiple times, numerous gallery shows in Las Vegas, and over a dozen public murals for Clark County, Nevada for the ZAP! Project. She was one of the top 6 winners for ArtPop Street Gallery in 2017.

“Being on tour with my family was a time of long drives with a view for days going from place to place. Glittery costumes, beautiful women, lions, tigers… This past influences my art as I explore these memories.

For over a decade I have been exploring paint peels as form of art. Each layer is painted facedown on a surface that it will later be peeled from. During the process, paint seeps, cracks, wrinkles and abstracted elements come forth. This loss of control reminds me of how memories become.”

She currently resides in the state of Oregon.
