Amado M. Peña Hand-Thrown & Painted Ceramic Wall Plate — Santa Fe

Exceptional hand-thrown and hand-painted ceramic wall plate by renowned Southwestern artist Amado Maurilio Peña, created at Peña Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Measuring 11" in diameter and 3.5" deep, this signed work showcases Peña’s signature geometric precision and cultural symbolism. The design centers on a stylized portrait of a Native figure rendered in bold angular lines, surrounded by concentric bands of woven-like and color-blocked motifs in turquoise, red, sand, and lavender. The circular format and radiating symmetry evoke balance and continuity—hallmarks of Peña’s fusion of Indigenous and modern design language.

Executed in Peña’s characteristic style, the piece blends portraiture, abstraction, and cultural narrative, symbolizing the unity of person and landscape. Each contour and color field is carefully hand-painted beneath a glossy glaze, highlighting both the craftsmanship and emotional depth of the artist’s vision. A distinctive and vibrant example of Peña’s celebrated Southwest artistry, complete with the Peña Studios label and ready for wall display.
