It's Cactus- Haiti Metal Art
Own a piece of authentic Haitian art history with this handcrafted Tree of Life metal wall sculpture featuring fruit and birds, created by renowned artisan Hubert Bernard.
Bernard is considered one of the original metal artists from Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, the village famous for pioneering recycled steel drum art. His work is known for its primitive, expressive folk art style, making each piece especially collectible.
This sculpture measures approximately 14.5" x 14" and is made from recycled oil drums, carefully cut, flattened, and hand-hammered. Every detail—from the flowing branches to the fruit and birds—is individually formed by hand, ensuring no two pieces are ever alike.
Hubert Bernard is among the early generation of Haitian metal artists, helping establish the now world-renowned tradition of drum art in Croix-des-Bouquets. His work reflects a more raw, traditional folk style, prized by collectors for its authenticity and character.
