Harmony of Forms

A sophisticated dance of symbolism and design, Harmony of Forms by Rodrigo Perez showcases the intricate visual language of Mata Ortiz pottery. The beige surface becomes a canvas for precise, multilayered illustrations in red, black, and grey—interwoven with birds, fish, eyes, and zigzag motifs that reference both nature and ancient glyphs. The rounded form amplifies the artwork’s continuity, as layered bands circle the vessel in a harmonious rhythm. What sets this piece apart is its narrative complexity: animal figures interact with geometric structures, guiding the viewer through a tapestry of cultural memory and artistic precision. Bold yet balanced, the color palette reinforces the sculptural lines while inviting deeper engagement with each symbol’s hidden meaning.
