Subject: Alebrije Observes the Dreamcatcher.
Medium: Digital Artwork.
Inspiration: "The Alebrijes are spirit guides, as they were depicted in the 20-day cycle of the Zapotec calendar. Being strongly connected with nature, the Aztec people created these symbolic creatures mixing two living animals with anthropomorphic characteristics."
Les alebrijes sont des sculptures d'art populaire mexicain en papier mâché. N'importe quel animal peut servir de base à ces créations chimériques : paré ou pas d'attributs insolites mais toujours peint de couleurs vives, les possibilités sont infinies.
Les premiers alebrijes sont créés par Pedro Linares. Dans les années 1930, Linares tombe très malade, dans ses délires fiévreux, il rêve d'étranges créatures peuplant une forêt. Une fois rétabli, il les dessine et crée des sculptures en carton et papier mâché qu'il nomme "alebrijes". Son travail attirera l'attention et sera à l'origine d'un artisanat très populaire au Mexique. Ces créatures fantasmagoriques font même leur défilé, à Mexico !

One of two six-metre-tall fantastical beasts by artist Fefe Talavera. Created in the Mexican folk art tradition of Alebrijes, brightly coloured sculptures of imaginary creatures, traditionally made of paper or wood. These inflatable Alebrijes represent strength, resistance, love and the cultural roots to which they are connected.

alebrije is the name given to the familiar carved wood animals and figures made in Oaxaca Mexico. This ceramic woman carries an alebrije on her head and another one in her hands.
This wonderful work comes from the workshop of master potter Concepcion Aguilar of Ocotlan Oaxaca Mexico
#DoodlewashApril2021 Prompts: Giraffe & Rooster. The Girooster Alebrije is a hybrid of the Giraffe and Rooster. I haven't decided if I should go totally wild or keep it to more realistic coloration. Zebra Technical Pen on Hahnemühle 640 gm Hot Press Collection Watercolor paper.
