    In this ceramic piece by Mata Ortiz, he captures A nighttime scene from the Day of the Dead depicts a skeleton mariachi riding through the cemetery on an equally skeletal horse. Among crosses, tombs, and bare trees, the music resonates as a tribute to those who have departed, revealing the Mexican view of death as a festive and symbolic transition.

  • 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.
