While backpacking through Costa Rica I came across these unique enormous leaves vining their way up into the canopy. They were carved with little holes and channels and I was transfixed!

Years later it occurred to me that these would make a lovely and simple metal monstera leaf sculpture for the wall. I can't achieve the vibrant green these leaves possess with the heat patina spectrum of stainless, but luckily monstera leaves are so incredibly distinct that no one would question what they were. And the colorful striping patterns added depth and caught light beautifully, especially in low light, which was rare and one of my favorite qualities!

I also made a smaller, more colorful version. Check out my Small Colorful Monstera sculptures.

This Monstera Leaf sculpture is wall hanging, made entirely of stainless steel, colored using only heat patinas, and must be kept indoors!
