About this Item
"Alebrije! Alebrije!" shouted Pedro Linares after a feverish dream he had in 1930. From that day, Mexico City experienced an artistic movement full of fascinating creatures. Named after Pedro's words, this art style is present in many designs, like this steel wall sculpture by Alejandro de Esesarte.
"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.
The artisan uses a cool color scheme to bring a mesmerizing creature to life — a winged fish with bird features.
