Spirit Symbols Vessel

An explosion of sacred forms and ancient geometry, Spirit Symbols Vessel by Rodrigo Perez transforms ceramic into storytelling. Crafted in the tradition of Mata Ortiz, this hand-coiled vase features a dynamic visual narrative of birds, beasts, and glyph-like symbols meticulously arranged across its surface. Black and red figures emerge from a warm beige background, with each element outlined in precise, fine-line detailing. The result is a fluid yet structured rhythm that wraps seamlessly around the entire form. What sets this piece apart is its balance of symbolic meaning and design complexity. Every curve and contour has intention — from the stylized eagle wings to the spiraled eyes and stepped motifs that echo the iconography of Paquimé culture. Its spherical shape magnifies the richness of the artwork, inviting viewers to turn it in hand and uncover new elements from every angle.
