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.

It is also common to see metal art created from metal alloys, such as aluminum. Metal art can be either purely decorative or functional and useful.

Metal sculptures are done for aesthetic purposes.

Metal sculptures can be made from a wide variety of metals. But the most commonly used metal tends to be bronze (an alloy of copper and tin).
