Rodrigo family, a native Mexican pottery family, has a hundred years of history and have been six generations engaged in pottery making. In Mexico, deeply influenced by Indian religion and Spanish culture, there has long been a variety of ceramics development. His family's pottery has a strong Indian tradition and a considerable regional identity.
"Cotton, sand and clay are the raw materials for pottery in our region, and red and black are the colors we are accustomed to using, the colors of the earth. Raw materials for pottery making and painting, at my home, have to be dug up and refined outdoors by myself. Reverence for nature, taking materials from nature is our philosophy of making things".
Rodrigo's work is characterized by the mixing and reinterpretation of pictorial symbols inherited from his ancestors to give them new narrative meanings.
