About the Artist
Virgil Ortiz is one of today’s most visionary artists, fusing Pueblo culture with sci-fi, fantasy, and fashion to create unleashed new worlds. Drawing from ancestral storytelling and his family’s legacy of Cochiti Pueblo potters, Ortiz transforms clay, couture, film, and digital media into futuristic narratives that captivate audiences worldwide.
