Product Description
This one-of-a-kind Haitian metal mermaid sculpture is a striking example of hand-crafted steel drum art from Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti—the world-renowned village of recycled metal artistry.
Created in 2001 by artist Joseph Libernier, a student of master sculptor Serge Jolimeau, this extraordinary piece is cut, hammered, and shaped entirely by hand from recycled oil drums. Every detail—from the flowing hair to the textured body and elongated tail—reflects the skill, creativity, and tradition passed down through generations of Haitian artisans.
Measuring approximately 16.25 inches wide by 46.5 inches tall, this sculpture makes a bold statement as wall décor or a focal point in any indoor or outdoor space.
Mermaids in Haitian art often symbolize mystery, strength, and a deep connection to nature and spirit. This piece captures that essence beautifully—both sculptural and expressive.
Haitian metal art is not only visually compelling but also rooted in sustainability, transforming discarded materials into meaningful works of art. Each piece carries the story of the artist and the enduring creative spirit of Haiti.
