ceramic folk art

The underworld is always celebrating the Day of the Dead, which inspires Mexican artisan Jorge Escamilla to create this refreshing ceramic wall art portraying one of the many faces of this mystic dimension. Using his talent to craft this skull-shaped piece, Jorge finishes it with a hand-painted design of little floral details on turquoise and white base tones.

In the magnificent lands of Pucara, people attract harmony and good fortune to their houses by setting a captivating pair of bulls on their roofs. Known as the Toritos of Pucara, these sculptures are made from ceramic and represent the duality of the Andean worldview. This time, the little torito comes in a turquoise base hue with yellow, fuchsia and green floral details made by the master artisan Elva Florez from Peru.

Puno welcomes people with a glorious landscape of classic roofs where little pairs of bulls rest gracefully. Known as the Toritos de Pucara, these ceramic sculptures are an icon of the Andean culture, symbolizing the duality of its worldview as each figure represents the harmony between evil and celestial forces. This little torito, in particular, wears a floral and leafy design in turquoise hues, made by the talented Peruvian artisan Elva Flores as a sign of wisdom and protection.

The underworld dresses itself with a romantic and musical aura, the same that surrounds this ceramic sculpture by master artisan Jorge Escamilla. Inspired by tradition and love, Jorge works with classic techniques to create this sublime piece, depicting a couple of Catrines—famous Day of the Dead icons—in a passionate serenade. With one figure wearing a mariachi suit and the other a traditional dress, the hand-painted pieces are joined on a heart-shaped base.
