In the 1930s, Mexico City saw the beginning of a captivating art style. After a feverish dream full of fantastic creatures, Pedro Linares started to create colorful animal-like sculptures called alebrijes. Since that day, many have continued Pedro's legacy, making amazing works such as this unique piece of wall art. "I was drawing an alebrije-like figure, when a little girl came to see what I was doing and joyfully shouted, 'alegrijes!' She misspelled 'alebrijes,' and we all laughed," he recalls. "Later in the day, it hit me — the little girl didn't make a mistake. Because by changing a single letter, she gave me the new name for my line of alebrijes. They will be called alegrijes." Alegre means means 'joy.' Alegrijes — the ones who bring joy. Using a vibrant palette, the artisan crafts a spectacular winged beast, half-deer and half-dragon.
