Description
Our Lady and the Tramp steel sculpture captures the charming moment when the cocker spaniel Lady and the stray mutt Tramp share a strand of spaghetti and accidentally kiss. This scene is uniquely handcrafted using my specialized fire color hardening technique. The design begins with an original hand drawn rendering of the two dogs mid-kiss behind a plate of pasta. Lady’s curled ears, red collar, and gentle eyes gaze at Tramp’s shaggy fur and tilted hat. Their expressive faces showcase curiosity turning into accidental affection.
I grind and shape the sculpture, using controlled heat up to 1800°F to permanently set an array of colors into the molecular structure of the steel. As the metal is heated, vibrant reds, browns, blacks, and grays emerge. No paints or coatings are used, just the natural physics of steel. And no two pieces are ever identical, highlighting the dogs’ sweet, one-of-a-kind connection.
The finished steel sculpture is fitted by hand with marine grade stainless brackets to perfectly balance its hang angle. Though durable for outdoor installments, care should be taken to inspect fittings periodically. Proudly made by me in Central Florida. For interior or exterior decoration, this charming tempo-art steel interpretation celebrates Lady and Tramp’s iconic romantic moment.
The moon is a second piece which is custom made and painted. The moon hangs behind Lady and the Tramp and can be placed at any height reference you would like. The moon can be placed directly behind them as seen in the photo or hung higher. Its completely up to you. You can order this sculpture piece with or without the moon.

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.
