Story Behind the Art:
'Hola. We're Zeny Fuentes and Reyna Pina, we are married and we're from a small town in Oaxaca, We both come from families dedicated to carving and painting wood in a style known as alebrije. Our parents were master carvers and they taught each of us when we were little kids. We studied different things too, but what we really like to do is crafting alebrijes and continue with our families' traditions.
