Trabajando en papel maché, Marina Lozano en México crea esta fantasía alebrijes escultura. El gato alado está cuidadosamente pintado a mano con una asombrosa variedad de motivos en una miríada de colores.
La tradición del arte popular de los alebrijes se remonta a la década de 1930 en la Ciudad de México. Un hombre llamado Pedro Linares enfermó y en sus sueños febriles vio una tierra extraña poblada de criaturas curiosas: un burro con alas, un gallo con cuernos de toro y un león con cabeza de perro. Todas las bestias corrieron hacia él, gritando la palabra sin sentido, "¡alebrije! ¡alebrije!". Tras su recuperación, Linares comenzó a recrear las criaturas fantásticas que había visto en su sueño en papel maché. La forma de arte ganó popularidad y los alebrijes ahora están hechos de madera y papel maché.

I love this happy feline creature from another world! When I removed her from the packing, my cat ran over as though she recognized the creature as a long lost friend, and very gently rubbed her face over the Fanciful Cat to mark her as hers (I guess). The Fanciful Cat is so beautiful and other-worldly! One of my favorite purchases ever! The only problem I encountered is that the placement of her tail can make her difficult to find just the right place for her.

This alebrije is amazing. I bought it to add to may collection of Marina Lozanos beautiful work. I tell my 7 year old grand daughter that these will be hers someday...and that they are not toys but works of art.
