Product Description
This one-of-a-kind Haitian metal sculpture by Jn (Jean Robert) Jacques is a powerful expression of spiritual symbolism and traditional craftsmanship.
Handmade from recycled steel drums, this piece measures approximately 13 inches wide by 35 inches tall and features a stylized figure with raised arms and intricate hand-tooled detailing. The repeated heart motifs throughout the body are especially significant, representing the veve of Erzulie Freda—the Vodou spirit associated with love, beauty, femininity, and emotional depth.
In Haitian Vodou tradition, veve symbols are sacred drawings used to call upon specific spirits (Lwa). The presence of Erzulie Freda’s heart imagery brings an added layer of meaning, transforming this sculpture into not just art, but a symbolic and spiritual piece.
Jean Robert Jacques is known for his raw, primitive style and dedication to the cultural roots of Haitian art. His work reflects a deep connection to Vodou traditions, expressed through simplified forms and powerful symbolic detail.
Each sculpture is entirely handmade—cut, hammered, and embossed from recycled steel—ensuring that no two pieces are ever alike.
