The folk art of alebrijes dates back to an old tale from Mexico City. In his fevered dreams, a man called Pedro Linares saw an endless number of curious and fantastic creatures. Inspired by that incredible vision, Pedro recreated those magical beings with papier mache, naming them after the word those creatures shouted in his dreams: "alebrije! alebrije!"
