This beautiful hand-carved hummingbird by Oaxacan artist Veronica Calvo is a burst of life and color frozen mid-flight. With wings outstretched and beak pointing forward, it captures the lightning-fast energy of the real bird while dazzling with vibrant artistry. Painted in a vibrant palette of greens, pinks, purples, oranges, and yellows, its feathers glow with intricate geometric patterns and delicate dot work, adding both motion and depth to the piece.
Symbolically, the hummingbird is a messenger of joy, resilience, and good fortune in Mexican tradition. This alebrije channels that spirit beautifully, radiating positivity and vitality from every angle.
