    Alebrijes: artesanía mexicana nacida de un sueño


    Los alebrijes son criaturas fantásticas o mitícas hechas con cartonería que nacieron de un sueño profundo del artesano mexicano Pedro Linares López, quien enfermó y quedó inconsiente y, según él, se le revelaron las criaturas extrañas.

    Con mandil y engrudo en las manos, detalla más sobre el sueño de su abuelo Pedro: “Llega a una especie de bosque donde ve que los árboles y sus ramas; las piedras, las nubes, empiezan a tomar formar de animales con garras , alas y dientes”, dice Linares quien afirma que la palabra alebrijes no existía antes de que la soñara Pedro Linares. “Entonces, en ese lugar empiezan a hablar estas criaturas, decían: ‘alebrijes’. Mi abuelito cuenta que ellos lo guiaron, y de repente, despertó”.

    Alebrijes are fantastic or mythical creatures made of cardboard that were born from a deep dream of Mexican artisan Pedro Linares López, who fell ill and became unconscious and, according to him, the strange creatures revealed themselves to him.

    With apron and paste in his hands, he details more about his grandfather Pedro's dream: “He arrives to a kind of forest where he sees that the trees and their branches; the stones, the clouds, begin to take the shape of animals with claws, wings and teeth”, says Linares, who affirms that the word alebrijes did not exist before Pedro Linares dreamt it. “Then, in that place these creatures began to speak, they said: 'alebrijes'. My grandfather tells that they guided him, and suddenly, he woke up”.
