Alebrijes







Alebrijes
I never grew up celebrating Día de los Muertos, but in recent years it has become a tradition that I genuinely look forward to. I love the beautiful and colorful decorations of course, but I also love how much intention goes into crafting your ofrenda, and curating your decorations like papel picado, calaveras, and alebrijes. It feels so comforting to give dedicated time to remembering and celebrating my dearly departed loved ones and to add a lot of beautiful and vibrant art to my home for a short but sentimental season.
I made these alebrije prints both as an homage to this cherished tradition, and as a way to celebrate the beauty, color, and vibrance of these quintessentially Mexican folk-art sculptures. The intricate details and bright colors have always captivated my imagination, and I knew these prints would need to be similarly striking. They fit beautifully on any ofrenda, and are sure to add a uniquely detailed artistry to your display.
These multi-block Alebrije prints are 5 × 7 inches and are hand carved, printed, and signed by yours truly. Each print is as unique as a fingerprint and comes in an eco-friendly clearbag with cardboard backing for safe transport. These striking prints are ready to bring beautiful color to your ofrenda for years to come.
