About the Item
“I like the smell of the holy leaf. It’s a part of cuisine, medicine, and our traditions, and I really enjoy its texture. The other day I was eating a tamale and removed the holy leaf that was wrapped around it. The texture that comes out when you remove the leaf and the aroma…that is something I love! In my work, I try to capture the experience of that moment.” – Omar Hernández
*Tamale is a traditional Mesoamerican dish made of corn dough filled with meat, cheeses, fruit, vegetable or chilies, which is steamed in a corn husk or a leaf.
Materials and technique:
The leaf is an authentic reproduction of the hoja santa (holy leaf) used for traditional dishes. Omar’s selection of fine white and Oaxacan Donaji clay captures the essence of this ingredient.
Omar uses natural pigments from soil minerals and oxides to decorate each piece. He finds these in the different types of soil near his house in the Central Valley of Oaxaca and in the Mixtec Region on his routine walks. He says, “Sometimes I stop in the highway to collect a bit of soil when I see a beautiful color. We just find each other on the way!”

Mexican Handmade Ceramic Skull Sculpture Collection Made in Limited Editions
By Omar Hernández
Located in Queretaro, Queretaro
"As a Mexican and Oaxacan, but more as Omar, I see death as something present. It´s something that is a part of life and when you think about death, you begin to value a lot of things. Death is important to me because it’s a constant threat. If you think about dying now, you would probably do things that in another moment you would say, “I’ll do it later.” I see death as an opportunity to live a better life...a continuation of something," says Mexican ceramist Omar Hernández.
Omar Hernandez is a Mexican ceramist born and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico. As a child, growing up in a family of potters he didn't have much interest in making pottery, but in his early 20's he realized he could do other things with clay that weren't necessarily utilitarian pieces. It was then that Omar started his skull...
