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.
Yarn paintings are one of the most recognizable artistic traditions of the Wixárika (Huichol) people of western Mexico. Created by pressing brightly colored yarn into beeswax-covered wooden boards, these intricate works depict sacred symbols, animals, deities, and visions inspired by spirituality and ceremonies. Each piece tells a story connected to nature, ancestral knowledge, and the Wixárika worldview, preserving cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations.
