Elias Peña

Precision in Miniature

$500.00

Small in size but monumental in craftsmanship, Precision in Miniature by Elias Peña is a masterwork of Mata Ortiz pottery. Its softly rounded form is wrapped in a maze of intricate geometric patterns—each line, curve, and square hand-painted with near-microscopic control. The interplay of terracotta red, matte black, and negative space reveals a remarkable command of balance and proportion.
Though standing only 7 inches tall, this piece carries the full weight of the Mata Ortiz legacy. Peña’s execution of fine-line detailing—achieved with custom brushes made from human hair—demonstrates both technical excellence and deep reverence for Paquimé-inspired design. With its slightly asymmetrical silhouette and abstract architecture of forms, this vase is not just a collectible—it’s a meditation in form and rhythm.
