This impressive Mata Ortiz olla by Fabián Ortiz is a tour de force of painting and design. The rounded vessel is entirely covered with dynamic geometric motifs that flow in sweeping bands across its surface. Fabian combines fine cross-hatched panels that resemble woven textiles with bold triangular and Kiva step-fretted forms inspired by ancient Paquimé and Mesoamerican imagery. There are also fish, birds, and stylized feathers.
Hand-coiled, polished, and then meticulously painted, this olla is a sophisticated statement piece that bridges pre-Columbian inspiration with contemporary Mata Ortiz artistry.
