Jaguar walking Alebrije

Art and symbolism

• Copal woodSelected for its strength and fine grain, each copal block provides warmth and a light balsamic aroma that enhances the sensory experience.
• Alebrije techniqueInspired by the dreamlike figures of Oaxaca, the painting is applied by hand, layer upon layer. The shades of gray and black, combined with contrasts of sober colors, play with light to give life to shadows and reliefs.
• Geometric GrecasThese patterns, inherited from pre-Hispanic tradition, represent the universe-earth duality and reinforce the mystical energy of the jaguar as guardian of the jungle territories.

Creative process

1. Initial designThe artist sketches the feline's posture, seeking balance between movement and power.
2. Copal carvingWith gouges of different sizes, the basic shapes are chiseled, taking care of each curve so that the animal seems to emerge from the wood itself.
3. Sanding and sealingThe surface is smoothed and a base varnish is applied to protect the piece and facilitate paint adhesion.
4. Handcrafted paintingUsing soft-haired brushes, the artisan draws fretwork and shading, always respecting the chromatic harmony of the collection.
