Alebrijes are a fairly recent Mexican art form, attributed to Pedro Linares. Unconscious due to illness in 1936, he was presumed near death and yet his dreams were extremely vivid. He tells of a place where all was peaceful and quiet until all of a sudden there appeared a lion with an eagle's head, a rooster with bull's horns and a donkey with butterfly wings. They kept screeching "alebrije, alebrije!" and Pedro began running away. He encountered a man who told him it was not yet his time to be there are and he should continue running towards the exit. In this dream Pedro climbed out of a window and regained consciousness.

Butterflies were considered magical animals by the ancient Aztecs, so they chose them as a symbol to represent many of their gods. These colourful creatures inspire Mexican artisan J. Blas to create this steel wall art which will charm everyone who sets eyes on it with its perfect combination of yellow, orange and brown.
