Product Description
It's Cactus- Haitian Metal Art
Handcrafted Haitian Metal Art, Garden Angel with Rosary, Religious Garden Memorial 11.5"x14.5"
Made of recycled steel, this sculpture will rust over time if it is exposed to the elements. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, some people like the look of a weathered patina. If that isn't you, don't despair. Taking five minutes once a year to apply a spray-on enamel clear coat will keep your sculpture looking exactly the same as the day you bought it.
Artist Bio
Max-elie Brutus
Exhibiting his work at no less than the National Palace in 2002 at the age of 15, it has been clear from the beginning that Max-elie Brutus is an artist of considerable talent and potential. He says, “My first artistic work was a beautiful sun. I learned to do it from my father. He is dead now, and my mother is too. But I carry on the work to be a great artist.”
An Evengelical Christian, Max-elie makes simple, elegant images from “God’s kingdom.” He supports his wife, Fosia Desilus and their young son Akley with the money he makes selling sculpture from his workshop, which opened in 2004. Additionally, he attends the Concord University of Haiti, hoping that his artistry and education will provide them all with a better life.
