Hours and hours of handicraft went into making this amazing metal art! It features three fat animated fish with super details --flared fins, "dotted" bodies resembling myriad scales, openwork areas, and more details in their mouths.
It also has three highly detailed starfish, and an allover light coating 2024 of shellac on both front and back sides, to prevent
rusting. It is signed "Carlo Brutus" under the large fish, and measures a nice 13-1/2" wide by about 11-3/4" top-to-bottom.
Pieces like this are beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind artworks
made by Haitian artists. They burn out and then flatten steel storage drums, design their piece, and carefully cut out each shape. Then they begin hours of stenciling and embossing the hammered relief designs into the raw metal, mostly using handmade tools.
Haitian artists have been making these art pieces for dozens of years, but after Haiti's major earthquake, the purchase of these artworks really helped many families get back on their feet!l
This would look amazing in your beach cottage or condo, patio or poolside, boat or beach house -- or be an amazing gift for the ocean fanatic in your life!
