This gorgeous alebrije dog is crafted by Iván Fuentes, heir to one of the most important carving families of San Martín Tilcajete. The figure is wonderfully elegant—long-legged, alert, and full of personality—but its true magic lies in the painting. Iván covers the entire body with micro-patterns, Zapotec fretwork, textural bands, and radiant color transitions that make the piece pulse with energy.
From the vivid pink ears to the rainbow paws and the hypnotic green eyes, every surface is painted with masterful precision. This is an exceptional example of the Fuentes family style: meticulous, vibrant, and deeply rooted in Zapotec design.
