Trabajando en el estilo tradicional del arte popular oaxaqueño, Zeny y Reyna crean este hermoso alebrijes escultura. El búho de ojos grandes está elaborado en madera de copal y pintado con una asombrosa variedad de motivos en un arcoíris de colores. Para lograr el fino detalle, los artesanos utilizan una espina de maguey para pintar los diseños. 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. La forma de arte ganó popularidad y los alebrijes ahora están hechos de madera y papel maché.

Very disappointed”

This Ocotlan Owl is over priced, looks mass produced and worse, is not signed by the artists. I have several Alebrijes so I know where to find magnificent, one-of-a-kind, autographed Alebrijes. Unfortunately, I will not be buying them at Novica.

Love my new Zeny and Reyna hummingbird!”

This will be a Christmas gift for me -- a gift from my cat (my cats have always known exactly what I want). Zenys and Reynas pieces are incredible - Exquisite painted details. I have purchased many for myself and many to give as gifts.
