Hubert Bernard Haitian Steel Tree of Life Wall Sculpture, 40.5"
This impressive hand-cut steel Tree of Life wall sculpture, signed by Haitian artist Hubert Bernard, spans 40.5 inches and displays the expressive detailing characteristic of the Croix-des-Bouquets metalworking tradition. Birds, blossoms, and swirling branches fill the circular form, each element shaped with crisp cutwork and raised repoussé texture.
Made from reclaimed steel—flattened, cut, and hammered entirely by hand—the piece reflects both technique and symbolism. Bernard’s composition captures the vitality of the Tree of Life, a central motif in Haitian art representing continuity, community, and renewal.
