ALEBRIJE

Catrina Alebrije merges the elegance of La Catrina with the vibrant imagination of Alebrijes, blending two iconic traditions of Mexican culture. This figure honors the spirit of Dรญa de Muertos while bringing to life the colorful world of mythical creatures born from folk artistry.

Catrina Alebrije was created to pay homage to the alebrijes often seen in modern-day ofrendas, honoring the spirits and traditions that live on.

In Zapotec culture, alebrijes are vibrant spirit guides, linking the spirit world to ours. They help us find our true path, connecting with our deepest selves and guiding us through lifeโ€™s journey. Alebrijes are part of the 20-day cycle of the Zapotec calendar, representing our shared imaginary realm and spiritual essence.

Crafted from copal wood and painted in bright, intricate colors, each alebrije is a unique masterpiece. With whimsical features like horns, wings, and human bodies, no two are alike.
