Popovi Da's signature is precision personafied, as is his painting style.

About the Artist Maria Martinez's son (1923-1971), this San Ildefonso potter, painter, silversmith and designer, collaborated with his mother to make pottery.  His name translates to Red Fox.  He was also known as Tony Martinez; Popovi-Da Martinez; Popovi Da Martinez; Popovi and Popovida.

Popovi Da also served as Governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo.
