Any of of Memo and Aracely Varela pieces of pottery are known for the elaborate details of the hand painted geometry, the ancient Paquime shapes and their bold and contrasting colors. This pottery steps ever further into all this.
The eye bending multi-colored patterns envelope the entire work. What this duo has done in evolving the art of their ancestors is incredible. Their elevation of the southwestern pottery culture has not been surpassed.
Nearly every color glaze possible from the soil of Mata Ortiz is used. The entire pottery is bisected with a brick red sash filled with the shapes originated by their ancestors a thousand years ago. It very much is like a kaleidoscope within earthen pottery.
The pricing of this pottery is based on the worldwide respect for these artists, the complexity of their designs, and the literal hours and hours of their time to conjure up this superior folk art.
I find the finest of the superb pieces through detailed examination and testing to assure they last for generations.
