Señor Hilario Quezada Jr. developed and is currently the only master potter using the airbrushing technique with overlapping skulls on Mata Ortiz pottery. This motif adds visual depth through layered skull imagery, reflecting the tradition's unique artistry and often symbolizing continuity, ancestry, or life and death. Creating this effect requires careful planning, precise brushwork, and skilled craftsmanship to balance clarity and harmony in each piece.
