From Metepec, State of Mexico, Hortencia Rojas Martínez creates glazed ceramic work that brings together tradition and innovation. Rooted in a family workshop environment, her practice has evolved into a distinct visual language that reflects both her community’s ceramic heritage and her own artistic voice.

Through techniques such as dual-clay decoration and the use of ceramic pigments, her pieces combine traditional motifs with contemporary approaches. Her work not only represents a craft but also serves as a way of expressing the cultural identity of Metepec through a modern perspective.
