Alebrijes are Mexican folk art sculptures painted with intense colors and beautiful patterns that depict animals and fantastical creatures. 🇲🇽🐲🐾🍄⚡️
We had the fortune to visit the workshop of Jacobo & Maria Ángeles in the little town of San Martín Tilcajete in Oaxaca.
We were explained every detail of the process for creating an Alebrije. This place was actually visited by the Pixar team of ‘Coco’ to get inspired for some of the creatures who appear in the underworld scenes.
The whole crew at this workshop are an inspiration for creativity and hard work! 🙌
