"Hola! We're Zeny Fuentes and Reyna Piña. We're from a small town in Oaxaca," says Zeny by way of introduction. "We both come from families dedicated to carving and painting wood in a style known as alebrije. Our parents were master carvers and they taught each of us when we were children. We studied different things too, but what we really like to do is crafting alebrijes and continuing our families' traditions.
"I still recall the first piece I ever carved. It was a duck and it got sent to the Museum of Light in San Antonio! Since then, I've had the good fortune to exhibit my work in different museums and galleries in the U.S. — the first one was in Arizona when I was only 14 years old. Now Reyna and I exhibit together, and some of our alebrijes are on display in Israel and in Germany.
"Our work has also been sponsored by a prestigious paper company that depicts our wood sculptures on their stationery.
"Reyna and I have different styles when it comes to alebrijes and, when we got married, we decided to combine our ideas, creating our own version — our artistic identity where color and sculpture have a specific meaning. You could say we conceived a life filled with colors and a love for nature as well as for our huge cultural heritage. And now we share our love for this art with our children, who will preserve their family legacy.
"What we have taken from our culture is that we left the trees and recovered our own life, which is evident in every finished sculpture.
"Our materials include reclaimed tree trunks and branches as well as roots from dead trees, or the ones that we find in fields and rivers. We use the dust that comes off after sanding a piece to fill in the cracks that a piece of wood may have, and we use the thorn of a maguey to paint the more delicate motifs. Each alebrije is crafted by hand.
"The government of Oaxaca and the Tourist Ministry have both recognized our work and named us master wood artisans and our efforts to promote this cultural art form across the borders. In 2012, we received an award during Mexico's National Exhibition of Artisan Crafts (ENART) for our sculpture 'The Wild Bull of the Sun and Day.'
"We love spending our free time in the nearby fields and rivers and admiring nature while sitting atop a mountain or hill. This is reflected in the work that we do, which is special and authentic. Our inspiration comes from life's essential elements — the sun, the moon, the wind, water and fire, as well as the main symbols of our Zapotec culture. They are related to animals, flowers, insects, the cycle of life, and time.
"An event that had a big effect on us was when we were invited to teach our work to children with different capabilities in a school in Michigan. Among them was a boy who wouldn't obey, wouldn't eat and wouldn't pay attention. Regardless, we began to teach and I started carving a log of wood into a bear, and this kid was amazed by the magic of transforming wood into an animal. I caught his attention and I helped him make a sponge from a block of floral foam.
"When he was finished, he looked quite content with himself. His mother later told us that, when he got home, he was in a very happy mood. He ate, and then drew a picture of me, calling me 'art boy.' Apparently, the experience contributed to him coming out of his depression.
"When she told us this, we felt a great sense of satisfaction. We had no idea how much we could help someone — a child — through our art.
"We see you as a door to the world where Reyna and I can show people our work. We would like to express our thanks to all of you who find interest in the wonderful world of Mexican alebrijes."

Though the sculpture is exquisitely painted, the included tail is bent so far backward over the cat's back that it obscures the flower to a significant degree.

I have collected several pieces over the years, and this cat has the most incredibly amazing details and sharply delinieated features of any I've seen. The eyes exude the aura of a mystical being and dare the beholder to guess what it is thinking. I bought this as a gift but will either keep it for myself or will order my own. It came beautifully wrapped but I just had to see it for myself before I gave it away.

This hummingbird looks as though it will suddenly come to life and take flight on its own! It was carefully packaged for shipment and assembly was easy. I was worried I might damage it as I put it together but a slow + steady hand (working from the front to the back of the piece) proved successful. Once inserted, the feather angles can still be moved to change the way the bird suspends from the hanger. Muchas gracias Zeny & Reyna ~ your artwork is truly a treasure.

There were almost too many layers to go through to get to the prize - but it did build up excitement, and there was no disappointment at all! Thank you, Zeny and Reyna!

The hummingbird is beautiful. The color on the alebrije is a very close match to the pictures on the website, and the detail on the figure is incredibly intricate. When I ordered, I was really worried about this getting broken in shipping, but it was shipped flat with lots of bubble wrap and was very well packed. The assembly itself is very, very simple.

Many friends sent ideas but he likedthe first thing I said to him when they brought him into the room for us to meet which was ?oh there's our handsome Baby Boy.? He loves the carvings and respects them, but won't touch he looks at one, then looks at us and says ?erp Almost as if to say me? You see these carvings make not only people happy but also animals.

Zeny and Reyna handcrafted alebrije sculptures
"Hola! We're Zeny Fuentes and Reyna Piña. We're from a small town in Oaxaca," says Zeny by way of introduction. "We both come from families dedicated to carving and painting wood in a style known as alebrije. Our parents were master carvers and they taught each of us when we were children. We studied different things too, but what we really like to do is crafting alebrijes and continuing our families' traditions.
"I still recall the first piece I ever carved. It was a duck and it got sent to the Museum of Light in San Antonio! Since then, I've had the good fortune to exhibit my work in different museums and galleries in the U.S. — the first one was in Arizona when I was only 14 years old. Now Reyna and I exhibit together, and some of our alebrijes are on display in Israel and in Germany.
"Our work has also been sponsored by a prestigious paper company that depicts our wood sculptures on their stationery.
"Reyna and I have different styles when it comes to alebrijes and, when we got married, we decided to combine our ideas, creating our own version — our artistic identity where color and sculpture have a specific meaning. You could say we conceived a life filled with colors and a love for nature as well as for our huge cultural heritage. And now we share our love for this art with our children, who will preserve their family legacy.
"What we have taken from our culture is that we left the trees and recovered our own life, which is evident in every finished sculpture.
"Our materials include reclaimed tree trunks and branches as well as roots from dead trees, or the ones that we find in fields and rivers. We use the dust that comes off after sanding a piece to fill in the cracks that a piece of wood may have, and we use the thorn of a maguey to paint the more delicate motifs. Each alebrije is crafted by hand.
"The government of Oaxaca and the Tourist Ministry have both recognized our work and named us master wood artisans and our efforts to promote this cultural art form across the borders. In 2012, we received an award during Mexico's National Exhibition of Artisan Crafts (ENART) for our sculpture 'The Wild Bull of the Sun and Day.'
"We love spending our free time in the nearby fields and rivers and admiring nature while sitting atop a mountain or hill. This is reflected in the work that we do, which is special and authentic. Our inspiration comes from life's essential elements — the sun, the moon, the wind, water and fire, as well as the main symbols of our Zapotec culture. They are related to animals, flowers, insects, the cycle of life, and time.
"An event that had a big effect on us was when we were invited to teach our work to children with different capabilities in a school in Michigan. Among them was a boy who wouldn't obey, wouldn't eat and wouldn't pay attention. Regardless, we began to teach and I started carving a log of wood into a bear, and this kid was amazed by the magic of transforming wood into an animal. I caught his attention and I helped him make a sponge from a block of floral foam.
"When he was finished, he looked quite content with himself. His mother later told us that, when he got home, he was in a very happy mood. He ate, and then drew a picture of me, calling me 'art boy.' Apparently, the experience contributed to him coming out of his depression.
"When she told us this, we felt a great sense of satisfaction. We had no idea how much we could help someone — a child — through our art.
"We see you as a door to the world where Reyna and I can show people our work. We would like to express our thanks to all of you who find interest in the wonderful world of Mexican alebrijes."
