From Scrap metal to Metal Art Sculptures

Many of you probably do not know who Tom Samui is. For 10 years now the Swiss artist and his team of about a dozen has been busy turning junk metal mostly from throwaway vehicles into pure art. They are highly polished and undergo a treatment that salvage them from rust. Almost every part is used. His work is breathtaking nonetheless as you can see:

metal-samurai

This is one ninja you wouldn’t like to brawl with…

metal-fairy

This metal fairy (elf) will sit elegantly in a garden, don’t you agree? The level of craftsmanship and detail is really amazing. Production time of such pieces is 2-3 months and we can see why. Simply amazing!

metal-dragon

The only thing this dragon can do now is spit fire! The amount of work on this thing must be phenomenal.

metal-deer

By far my favorite. Look how majestic this deer looks…

dinosaur-metal-sculpture

Look at the size of this metal T-Rex. That’s an actual 8 meter long dinosaur! (notice the giant behind) According to the artist’s friend, the pieces can be broken down into smaller parts for easy transportation.

He also makes custom metal art as per a drawing or an idea. Very creative if you ask me! You can learn more here
