Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez
"We are Alejandro and Rocio Jimenez, a family of artisans originally from Oaxaca. We specialize in wood carving and the creation of <I>alebrijes</I>. Our interest in <I>alebrijes</I> began in our childhood, as our grandparents and parents were already skilled in wood carving. What attracts us to being <I>alebrije</I> artists is the magic of what we can create with wood, paints, and brushes.<BR><BR>
"I believe that discipline and perseverance are the pillars that led my wife and me to achieve mastery in the art we practice. Just as I received the teachings, now I share them with my children in the workshop. Our dream is to expand our artisan workshop and showcase our art to the world.<BR><BR>
"The materials I use include copal wood, machetes, knives, sealants, fillers, and acrylic paints. All the inspiration for my pieces comes from my imagination. Starting to work on my own has been a bit difficult, but gradually and with a lot of effort, we are making progress."
