Polo Ramírez is a Peruvian artist and potter, celebrated for promoting Chulucanas pottery on the global stage. Born near the ancient Vicús archaeological site in Piura, Peru, Polo learned the art of pottery from his family, mastering the traditional Rock and Paddle Technique. His work reflects the duality of life, blending rawness and beauty, and honors the legacy of pre-Columbian Vicús and Tallán cultures.
