Extraordinary Hand made Painted Nativity Set By Demetrio Aguilar PP6207

Welcome to Peyote People. We are based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where we have run a Native Folk Art Gallery since 1997 that works directly with the Huichol artists and their families.

Demetrio Born in the village of Ocotlán, Oaxaca,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.

Combinding 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.
