Description
Our Chip ‘n Dale wall sculpture is uniquely handcrafted using specialized fire color hardening techniques that bring Disney’s beloved chipmunk duo to life in steel. Each piece begins with an original hand-drawn rendering capturing this iconic moment – Dale balancing precariously on Chip’s back while wielding a golf club, their expressive faces showing Dale’s characteristic enthusiasm and their distinctive chipmunk features – all precision laser cut from 14-gauge Type 316L Marine Grade stainless steel.
I personally grind and shape each Chip ‘n Dale sculpture, using controlled heat up to 1800°F to permanently set an array of colors into the molecular structure of the steel. As shown in the image, the metal takes on rich golden and silvery tones that create depth and dimension, particularly evident in their fur textures and facial expressions. The heat treatment brings out warm amber highlights that accent their characteristic chipmunk features while deeper tones define the layered composition. This coloring process uses no paints or coatings – it’s purely the natural physics of steel at work. Each piece develops its own unique pattern of colors, ensuring that no two sculptures are ever identical.
The finished steel sculpture is carefully fitted by hand with marine grade stainless brackets to achieve perfect balance in its mounting position. Though these pieces are engineered for outdoor installation, periodic inspection of the fittings is recommended for optimal maintenance. All sculptures come complete with stainless steel brackets and mounting hardware.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Armando R. Hevia, a passionate artist and sport fisherman enthusiast, was born in Havana, Cuba, but moved to the U.S. as a young child. He has lived Orlando, Florida since 1972. Fortunately, Florida is a premier destination for fishing, and the open seas have given him a wide realm of both observation and discernment, fueling his creativity to replicate sea life in his own vision.
Armando has always loved to draw, and studied both Commercial Art and Welding at Mid-Florida Tech in Orlando. His welding knowledge prompted him to experiment with creating his first metal sculpture over 20 years ago. What began as a hobby has turned into much more, and he has methodically developed his stainless steel sculptures depicting sea life. All sculptures begin with a hand drawn design before the metal is cut to the proper specifications of each fish. He then grinds each piece to add depth and dimension into each piece. The array of colors is achieved by controlled heat, a process known as fire color. The colors are not painted on, but rather drawn out of the metal by different temperatures of heat. The colors are then embedded into the steel permanently. Each piece is original, and no two pieces are alike.
Armando not only has a passion for, but takes pride in each piece of art he creates. It is clear he has an innate, intuitive gift for art, and is willing and able to create anything the mind can imagine.
