Description

Our whitetail buck sculptures capture the majesty of these woodland monarchs. Each piece begins with an original hand-drawn rendering featuring their distinctive crown – a massive 10-point rack – along with muscular shoulders and alert posture, precision cut from 14-gauge Type 316L Marine Grade stainless steel.

I grind and shape each buck sculpture using controlled heat up to 1800°F to set colors into the steel’s molecular structure. The heating creates rich browns, tans, and silvery highlights mirroring their autumn coat. These magnificent deer, weighing up to 300 pounds, represent the pinnacle of North American big game hunting.

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.
