Martin Olivas Quintana

Martin Olivas Quintana is an up-and-coming talent among the second generation of potters from Mata Ortiz. He has been recognized with numerous awards for his exceptional work at the annual pottery competitions, and is the nephew of the esteemed master potter, Jorge Quintana. The Quintana family's work is marked by consistently high-quality sgraffito designs, which bear a striking resemblance to one another. Martin Olivas Quintana has a particular talent for this technique, as well as for his use of color combinations. His more recent hummingbird design is a unique take on this classic pattern, and is quickly making him one of the most recognized artists in his field.
