Jesús Olivas Quintana

Dance of the Lizards

$350.00

Dance of the Lizards by Jesús Olivas Quintana brings life to the surface through playful motion and masterful design. Carved in natural-toned clay and accented in earthy reds, blacks, and ochres, this vase features two dynamic lizards mid-motion — twisting, climbing, and interacting within a swirling field of geometric patterns.
Every inch of the surface is hand-engraved with textures that echo ancient motifs while creating a layered, almost animated feel. The crisp lines and vibrant palette strike a balance between tradition and whimsy. From a distance, it commands attention with its bold symmetry; up close, the precision of Quintana’s craftsmanship becomes truly impressive.
