Señor Tavo Silveira - Artist
As astonishing as this pottery is, it is real. Señor Tavo Silveira is a supreme master at creating the unbelievable and mind bending effects in Mexican Pottery design. And his talents were developed in the village of Mata Ortiz deep in the heart of Chihuahua. The village has inspired and created the finest artists of the 21st century Latin American pottery renaissance. So many creations from the village have won world class awards too numerous to count. Señor Silveiras work demonstrates why.
This piece is a cyclone of movement with surreal patterns evolved from his ancestors from one thousand years ago. The ancient Paquime cultural designs are everywhere. Texture is immense as deep etching known as Sgraffito creates the backbone of the shapes. Black outlines and internal patterns create the borders between calm and frenetic. White clay with white glaze act as the strongest contrast to the bold and beautiful images glazed within. Even the top is unique with its flattened surface.
Nearly flawless, this piece is signed by its creator, Señor Tavo Silveira.
