Collection: Demetrio Aguilar

Demetrio was born in the village of Ocotlán, Oaxaca, and grew up in a family of clay artists. Drawing on the traditions of his grandmother and his mother, the famous ceramic artist, Josefina Aguilar, he learned to gather and prepare the raw materials and to model the engaging folkart figures for which the family has earned worldwide acclaim.

Combining his mother's folk art tradition with his own unique style, Demetrio creates fantastic handcrafted muñecas (human figures) and plaques with personal interpretations of religious, cultural and family themes.
