    This magnificent ceramic piece by Mata Ortiz is a tribute to Mexican tradition and art, in particular to the Day of the Dead. Made of fine ceramic and carefully decorated by hand, it features carved images of Catrines, emblematic figures of the celebration, interacting in their daily lives. The Catrines play musical instruments, enjoy a romantic meal or simply relax in a patio, showing that even in death, life is still full of joy and passion.

    Ideal as a decorative piece or as a cultural gift, this ceramic is a unique masterpiece that highlights the beauty and intricacy of the designs. It is an object that not only looks beautiful, but also has a deep and cultural meaning.
  • Héctor Javier Martínez (Mata Ortiz, 1984) burst onto the Mata Ortiz pottery scene in 2008, with the characteristic style that distinguishes him to this day: the motifs of the night and day of the dead, in a model very Mexican and personal graphic. This was the result of a conversation he had with the well-known American collector Steve Rose. Héctor has been winner of the National Ceramic Award in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco in 2014, and has received important recognitions in the Annual Ceramic Competition in Mata Ortiz. He continues his work by collaborating with his partner Gabriela Pérez, with whom he shares credits in the signing of his pieces.
