José Juan Aguilar is the son of Josefina, who has been a well-known ceramic folk artist for many decades, working in Ocotlán, a village near Oaxaca.

José Juan is continuing the tradition Josefina and her sisters began, with even more refined craftsmanship and a truly beautiful color palette.

His ceramic sculptures range from clever and funny ideas to beautiful country scenes to depictions of his distinctive culture to deeply spiritual themes.
