It's Cactus- Haitian Metal Folk Art- Eco-Friendly Decor- Sustainable Living
Handmade Haitian Folk Art, Tree of Life with Fish in Sea, Eco-Friendly Decor 13.5"x34"
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
Exulien Exuma
“I went to school to learn design. I have this knowledge. But I left school and I wanted to deepen my knowledge in metal sculpture in order to make a living.” Thus begins the story of the artistic life of Exulien Exuma. He got his start in metal sculpture under the tutelage of Gary Pierre, but soon began creating his own images. Exulien often works in three-dimensions, giving those pieces the extra suggestions of sound and movement. His angels, for instance, have drums, horns and guitars in relief. Indeed, sound is very much a part of his creative process. When he describes his inspiration for his angels, he says, “They come from the heavens to my ears and then to my hands and then to the metal I pound. That's what makes them special."
