In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, ABC13's Erik Barajas delves into the origin story of alebrijes and how this mythical creature became a mainstay of Mexican culture.
They are fun fantastical creatures, with vibrant, often neon colors on intricate patterns.Alebrijes are creatures that literally came to us from the dream world.In 1936, Linares fell ill and while unconscious, he had visions of mystical animals with different parts that were shouting the word "alebrijes.""Linares was sick and was having these nightmares and vivid dreams, with a fever.
And a bull almost always demands attention, and this mystical creature with wings and jaguar spots, represents so many things to artist Ibraim Nascimento. "Avoador is the big bull with a big body and wings and golden horns, that will not be quiet," Nascimento said.His creature is tied to the creation story of the Brazilian people, his experience of leaving family behind, and moving to a new country.
"And how much struggle, I had in the beginning. No English, no Spanish, and just me and my Portuguese," Nascimiento said. "It was hard, so I added some wings, like an immigrant."Though he passed away in 1992, his work is now part of Mexican culture, some calling them spirit animals, that can ward off evil spirits.
