Alebrijes...

Les Alebrijes...

Thanks to Pedro Linares (1906-1992) we can say that we know the Alebrijes... mythical creatures based on dragons with long tails, shiny colors, irreal things and a lot of mexican scence in the presentation.

The creator was the one of the most influencial people on the mexican cultural sence, however this representantion mythical creatures represent the dead, the life and most of the mexican imagination... however, not to many people could get this kind of things, because of the material that is so expensive, it's mostly about wood, or other materials, also the paint is really expensive, so it can stand trough the years, or the're others thar are pretty big and the price increases...

I know that most of the foreing people arownd the world know at leas one of this mythical creatures. This beautiful creatures has to be more exposed in the Mexican culture, because, the fact of create a single creature from the beggining and from the inside of the mind is really difficult, is like create an entire world based on the creatures that are now at time.

Other thing that this magnificent creatures had is that they are collectables, that also they got the hability to being in many zises, combining parts og the other animals, per example : a drangon face, the body of a buffalo, the legs of a Jaguar and the tail of a Horse... all combined in a single piece of wood, hand painted, others are made of paper, but combined with other materials so it can resist many conditions.

Olvidamos lo que hace años era realidad...

THe mexicans... BY Elizabeth Bizarre...

We (the people) of the country... I call you back in order to obey the comands of the last centuries... we were a really proud tribe... of workers, of astronomers, of artist, painters, schulptures! where does that go at those years? I was asking that myself... the day that was the celebration of the Bicentenery of this year... there's been 200 years of freedom, freedom of what? we're the people of the sun, of the moon, of the war... but the War in a scence of doing good...

I'm so proud of what I am right now... Everytime that the people ask me about my country I say... It's not my country... is my home... my bothers sisters and parents are there... my granfathers work that land... they had that conection with the Earth!! THEY UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING THAT WE FORGOT SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE!


The way that we live in now at days... is tottaly different from what we really get used to... why should we give more importance to the things that doesn't are eternal, but forgot about the land that is our home... however the things had change... we're not in the times of forgot about out past... is sad but true...

However... we, the people, can make the difference now... we had the enough strainght to defeat the things that are "killing" us right now...

The way of the Mexican art, has to many brands to understand it... like the Alebrijes, creatures mixed and with a lot of colours on them... the food is a really important thing in the Mexican culture! who can't know the chiles en nogada, the tacos, the enchiladas, the frijoles and etc! that's a really important thing in the life of the mexicans!

The life of the real mexican should show proud, honestly and the biggest emotion to have that backgrownd in our hearts, in our blood, no matter if we're descendents of the Spanish, we're a mix of them... and by the time we're learning to accept our ancient roots...


Patriotism and Anarchy... both are healthy ways to live...

The Four Parts of the world :D

THis is the schulpture of the FOur parts of the world, representing Asia, Africa, America and Europe, The most important "parts" of the world representing the social development... Also it is showed in this Schulpture the magnificent masterpiece of how the creativity, with the image of woman, can be the purest thing in the world... also this is one of the most internal (as a way to say it) ways to express the love that you had to the world, the woman, as mother, is the one who give us birth, who feed us, who take cara of us, so by some reason it's showing that the Art piece is telling us that the 4 parts of the world, gived us the life, gived us the strong to stay here, to became the biggest humans ever...

As a mother sees for her child, the world is always lookig for us, so as a matter of reguard that efford to us, we shall rotect her, protect our mother earth... we might die, but she'll stay there always, till the end of her days, and that's why, more important for us is to take care of what we are...
