This delightful tableau is a signature work by the late Josefina Aguilar (1945–2026), the renowned matriarch of Oaxacan folk art from Ocotlán de Morelos, Mexico. Hand-modeled in traditional red clay and finished in her family’s iconic vibrant acrylics, the piece offers a playful tribute to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The scene captures the couple in a donkey-drawn cart, accompanied by Frida's beloved pets and a wooden rack displaying miniature clay "charms" of her most famous self-portraits. It is a quintessential collector's item that beautifully blends Mexican art history with the soulful, tactile craftsmanship of a legendary ceramicist.

About the artist

Josefina Aguilar Alcántara

Josefina Aguilar Alcántara (1945–2026) began her artistic journey at age six, learning at the feet of her mother, Isaura Alcántara Díaz, who was the first in their village to shift from making utilitarian pots to decorative human figures, depicting everything from Frida Kahlo to religious saints and market scenes. By her early twenties, Josefina's distinct "muñecas" had garnered international acclaim, notably catching the eye of collector Nelson Rockefeller in 1975 and earning her first place in the 1977 Gran Premio de Arte Popular. Even after losing her sight to complications from diabetes in 2013, she famously continued to mold clay by "feeling the soul" of the earth, mentoring her children to ensure the Aguilar dynasty remains the gold standard of Oaxacan folk art. Her legacy endures through the generations of artists she shaped and the countless works that carry her spirit.

    We believe in honoring the mastery, heart, and immense time that goes into these living traditions. By paying fairly and directly, we aim to support the livelihoods of the families we work with and help preserve these incredible histories for generations to come.

  • Every item is hand-selected during my travels, looking for pieces that feel "raw" and authentic rather than mass-produced. I focus on finding works that tell a story of a specific place and people, often visiting remote regions to find traditional art that isn't found in typical markets. I look for the beauty in the "imperfections" that only human hands can create.
