Story

When José Garcia Antonio went blind a number of years ago, his first thought was not his art - it was how to remember his wife's face.

The rich red clay of Oaxaca held the answer for him. He would sculpt her face into these charming planter heads and candleholders. And now, with his sculptor's hands, he remembers her face every day. Or, he sculpts his own visage, like he has with this piece. 

These whimsical pieces make the perfect gift and come with a story card telling their romantic tale.

San Antonino Castillo Velasco, Mexico

José Garcia Antonio

José García, an 80-year-old blind potter from San Antonino Castillo Velasco, Mexico, creates art through a unique blend of love and imagination. After losing his sight at 55, José began sculpting his wife’s face daily to keep her image vivid in his mind. His works frequently feature her likeness paired with a mermaid tail, inspired by his mother’s stories of the world’s most beautiful women as mermaids. José’s sculptures blend romance and creativity, offering a heartwarming perspective on life and love.

Each piece reflects their love story, often depicting José and his wife in an eternal embrace, capturing their enduring connection. Every representation of Teresita includes her distinctive mole, adding a personal touch to his whimsical and mystical creations.

José, a humble yet nationally celebrated maestro, exemplifies the power of love and imagination. His work is celebrated throughout the region as a symbol of creativity, affection, and the enduring strength of seeing with the heart. Owning one of José’s pieces is more than just having art; it’s a daily reminder of his story and a gentle testament to the power of imagination, love, and the beauty of believing in the unseen.

    Hi Dionne,

    We love that this piece feels like a win-win for you. There’s something so grounding about terracotta, especially when it’s shaped by hand.

    Our artisan partner, José Garcia, began sculpting faces after losing his sight, forming each one from Oaxacan clay entirely by touch — first to remember his wife’s face. That memory and care are what truly bring these pieces to life.

    We’re so glad it’s adding charm to your home.

    Warmly,
    – Obakki Team

    special

    The story of Jose Garcia warmed my heart so I purchased the male & female planters.

    The quality & detail is beautifully executed. I planted geraniums in them for Summer. I think it would be nice to have multiples & hang on a wall. Planning to buy another set for gifts.
