innovative sculptures

Huergo and Menchaca are friends who share the same given name of Angela. More importantly, they share a passion for reinventing Nicaraguan handicrafts, while respecting the past. "Our designs arise from our different experiences united in an innovative and creative concept. The result is an avant-garde collection influenced by the culture and art of Latin America and Europe, with Caribbean colours." This cedar sculpture depicts young Jesus in the arms of his earthly father, Joseph. The white lilies he holds represent the presence of the Virgin Mary.

Add a truly fantastical touch to your home with this magnificent Pegasus alebrije. Pablo and Lucy Mendez hand-carve it from coal wood in an imposing stance with its wings gloriously spread. A hand-painted pattern in bright yellow, seafoam blue, white, and olive green pops against the creature's black background. This alebrije comes with removable wings and tail for safe shipping. An assembly manual is included for easy setup.

Pablo and Lucy enjoy blending traditional techniques with modern influences in their work to create innovative designs. They hope to keep Oaxaca's tradition of alebrije carving alive through their colourful pieces.
