Neftali Ayungua Suarez

Tata Tali, Great Master of Mexican Folk Art, has slowly begun to wean himself out of creating the masterpieces he is most famous for. He learned the craft from his wife, but mastered it on his own through years of meticulously molding and glazing clay into perfection. As with most artisan families, he has passed his talent onto his son, Neftali Ayungua. The teacher gifts his son with his age-old talent; while the student quickly masters the creation of the ceramic pineapple art form with his young and skilled hands. Together, in the peaceful mountains of Michoacan, Mexico, they continue to create award-winning pieces.
