Alebrijes

A Mexican alebrije is a folk art sculpture that originates from the state of Oaxaca. It is entirely hand-carved and hand-painted. The process involves carving intricate designs from wood, with artisans dedicating hours, even days, to bring their vivid imaginations to life. Each alebrije showcases an array of vibrant colors and whimsical patterns, making them truly unique and captivating. The meticulous artistry and dedication put into creating these sculptures distinguish alebrijes as masterpieces that require far more time and skill than conventional sculptures.
