Maya & Metallic Color

My Maya with metallic color has emerged over the past two years as a major innovation on top of classic, cultural motifs.

Atlantis Ceramic Art Studio are defined by the fusion of traditional and contemporary influences and the Maya with metallic color series is a wonderful example.

Keeping cultural idealsalive on my pottery sculptures is an important focus in my work.  The metallic color is opening up so many opportunities for a new audience to enjoy and connect to the cultural motifs as the exciting, metallic color opens up peoples experience.

Sometimes it's the color rather than the motif that is the first response.  It can then lead to a conversation and understanding to the traditional values of the design and then a deepening connection to the work itself.

The Maya Metallic series can be utilized in sculptures that feature complete native designs, or can accent native etched motifs in work blended with colorful and contemporary design.

Either way the metallic and cultural combination has become a major influence in the new Atlantis sculptures and as added electric energy to the work as well as collectors reaction to what they're seeing and enjoying.

Let me know what you think!
