\"JuanJosé Ramos Medrano is the grandson of the renowned Mexican sculptor, Candelario Medrano. Candelario was a sewer pipe maker who began making ceramic sculptures out of the pipe clay. This became known as the fetus clay tradition of ceramic art. The subjects of these playful artforms are often fantastical creatures. Each piece bears the unmistakable stamp of the particular folk artist who made it.

JuanJosé, or JJRM, as he signs his work, carries on his grandfather’s folk art tradition. He lives on the outskirts of Tonalá, Jalisco, in a small community called Santa Cruz de las Huertas. He works in his humble house creating soulful pieces of art. He prepares his brick kiln days in advance while he kneads the clay into figurines and paints them. He then coats his colored creatures with betus or birch extract oil to give them a lacquered finish. The pieces are then dried before baking at a very low temperature to prevent them from exploding.


JuanJosé often draws inspiration from a magical creature known in Mexico as the Nagual. A Nagual is a human being who uses magic to convert himself into animal form. The Nagual may also transform into more powerful, fantastical animals. The Nagual use their powers either for good or for evil, depending on their personality.\"
