"Corazon Metalico" ● Metal Art ● 22"x22"x2" ● SEE VIDEO!

Description: Corazon Metalico was truly a labor of love.  It combines two of the most abundant metals on Earth -- Aluminum and Copper -- in an intimate weave with the shape of passions most iconic figure ... The heart.  The strength and perceived rigidity of the metals is juxtaposed with the malleability of the woven pattern.  The power of love is a key component of this artwork.

The process of shearing each metal strip, creating the form and literally spending many hours weaving and, eventually, shaping the metal heart to my vision was both truly tedious and rewarding.  I suppose the creation was a bit analogous to "Love" itself.

Whether you are a fan of modern metal art, love powerful heart designs or are looking for the perfect unique gift for a loved one, "Corazon Metalico" will make a wonderful edition to your treasured collection.

 REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!  I love nature and I am a strong believer that minor changes can exponentially lead to a major positive impact. I do my best to recycle, repurpose, reuse and be the best conservationalist that I can be in my personal life and in my artwork. I purchase metals from mills that produce the bulk of their product from recycled materials and I always look for Earth friendly options to create my metal art. Many of my artworks also utilize "found objects" (recycled materials) and are guided by my love of nature. The majority of the elements that constitute this artwork come from recycled industrial metals and repurposed materials.
