Haitian Metal Octopus & Tropical Fish Wall Art – 23" Round Bring the beauty of the ocean into your home with this extraordinary 23" Haitian metal sea life wall sculpture, handcrafted by Haitian artist Derat Joseph from recycled steel oil drums. This elaborate underwater scene features two beautifully detailed octopuses surrounded by tropical fish, coral, and ocean plants. Their curling tentacles weave through the composition, creating a wonderful sense of movement and depth. Look closely at the incredible craftsmanship. Each octopus has a raised, dimensional body covered in intricate hand-hammered patterns, while the fish feature individually textured scales, fins, and decorative details. The coral and underwater plants complete this lively ocean scene. The circular openwork design allows the wall color to show through, highlighting the sculpture's remarkable details. Its natural silver-gray metal finish makes it a beautiful addition to coastal homes, beach houses, bathrooms, and nautical-inspired spaces. Handmade and signed by Derat Joseph, this impressive piece celebrates Haiti's traditional metalworking artistry while transforming recycled steel into a beautiful work of art.
