Handcrafted Haitian Metal Art, Small Nativity, Eco-Friendly Religious Wall Art 7.75"x8"
Artist- Jean Marie Soulouque
Another talented member of the very talented Soulouque clan, Jean Marie's work is influenced heavily by his faith. Nearly every inch of usable space on the walls of his brightly colored shop are covered with religious imagery. He specialized in angels, nativities and scenes of Noah's ark, executing them with cleverly imagined composition and flawless detail. Though Haiti has a reputation for virtually nationwide practice of voodoo, nearly 90 percent of all Haitians consider themselves to be Catholic.
Fair trade isn't just a good idea - its the way we do business.
We offer a hand up, not a hand out to our artist partners in Haiti. Each sale of their metal sculptures represents a positive step toward a better life.
The center of Haitian metal sculpture is the village of Croix-des-Bouquets, where the clanging sound of hammers striking chisels is a constant music. To begin, the artist chalks his design onto the metal. Chisels, dies and a large hammer are used to cut and shape the piece, giving it form and texture. When the highly intricate and physically demanding work is complete and the artist is satisfied with his work, he signs his name boldly with a small chisel and applies a clear, weather-proof coating. The result is a wonderful, fair trade piece of handcrafted art.
