"PAINTING ALEBRIJE'S WITH OAXACAN ARTIST JULIA FUENTES"

About this event

Class Description:
 Alebrije's are colorful, whimsical sculptures of mythical creatures that are part of Mexican folk art and Aztec folklore. The word "Alebrije" was created specifically for this style of art and has no direct translation in English. Alebrijes are considered spirit guides that connect spirits and the real world, and help people become who they are supposed to be. Julia will demo and help you paint your Alebrije that is carved by her husband Juan. All supplies will be provided.

About the Artist:

Top Oaxacan artist Julia Fuentes is the daughter of the world-famous first-generation carver Epifanio Fuentes. She studied fine art at the Oaxaca Bellas Artes School and graduated as an Art Teacher. He husband Jose Juan dedicates himself to the carvings of these fantastic pieces while Julia crates the painting and colors that Oaxaca is famous for. The couple’s work has gained international acclaim for the complexity of their carvings and for a painting style that reigns at the top of their craft.
