HISTORY The hand painted metal tropical wall art that you find at Hibiscus Haiti is hand cut from recycled steel 55 gallon drums. The drum has been cleaned, halved and beat into flat sheets by hand. The pattern is then drawn onto the metal to be skillfully cut with hammer and chisel into the desired shape. Then the true sculpting of the piece begins. Using a variety of chisels, the lines of definition are carefully applied in all of the right places, certain parts are pounded to round out the body of the piece. They are done mostly in a town called "CROIX DES BOUQUETS" in Haiti. This art form was developed in the fifties by Georges Liataud. Plants, animals and the integration of folklore are popular motifs. When complete, a rust preventive paint is applied and then the painted artwork begins. Striving toward realism and high quality you will find our tropical art designs something that you will be proud to display in your home or garden
