Metal artwork has been a form of self-expression since ancient times. Metal prints, also known as metallic prints, are modern, high definition art pieces made of a sleek metal panel (usually aluminum), layered with any image of your choosing.

Aluminium in Pop Art Warhol's first New York studio, 1963-1967, was called the “Silver Factory” because the walls were sprayed silver and decorated with aluminium foil. Jeff Koons spent two decades working on his monumental sculpture, Play-Doh, which resembles a 10-foot-tall mound of the soft children's clay.

Thanks to its light weight, durability, flexibility and corrosion-resistance, aluminum is ideal for painting panels, wall art, statues and sculptures. Artist Noah Deledda was featured in My Modern Met for transforming discarded aluminum cans into hand-sculpted geometric aluminum sculptures.

In the Earth's crust, aluminium is the most abundant metallic element (8.23% by mass) and the third most abundant of all elements (after oxygen and silicon).
