Jimmy Tatuaje, horse-seal captured by pirates, 2024

This enchanting hybrid between a horse and a seal has been meticulously sculpted from pure white clay, with a form that bridges the gap between the terrestrial and the aquatic. Its surface shimmers with a coat of transparent glaze, locking in the intricate designs laid down by ceramic crayons.

Each image draws inspiration from the bold lines and vibrant imagery of traditional American tattoos, imbuing the piece with a sense of heritage and rebellion. Swirls, anchors, stars, and waves dance across its unique form, telling stories as rich and fluid as the sea itself.
