Description

15" Haitian Cut-Steel “Tree of Life” Wall Sculpture, Signed Homel

This vibrant Haitian cut-steel “Tree of Life” sculpture is a quintessential example of the celebrated metal-art tradition born in Croix-des-Bouquets. Hand-fashioned from a reclaimed oil barrel, the piece began its life as industrial steel before being transformed—through fire, hammering, and intricate repoussé work—into a flourishing tree filled with birds, sun faces, and radiant flowers. Every detail is cut and textured by hand, giving the artwork an unmistakable rhythm and storytelling quality unique to Haitian steel-drum art. The sculpture is signed “Homel”, identifying the artisan whose skill and imagination shaped this lively scene.

Condition
