“Paper Mache” Animal Sculptures Inspired by: Oaxacan Woodcarvings (Art of Mexico)

The History of Oaxacan Woodcarvings… The Zapotec Indians of the Oaxaca Valley in the southern Mexican State of Oaxaca (pronounced Wah Ha Kah) are the artists of a unique and intriguing art form. The beautiful valley was the site of a very advanced civilization about 2000 years ago, evidenced by the ruins of Monte Alban and Mitla. Source: The Incredible Art Department

The woodworking techniques and artistic capacity of the Zapotec people have been refined over generations. Carved from the Copal Tree when the wood is green, this art comes from the three villages--Arrazola, San Martin Tilcajete and La Union Tejalapan in the State of Oaxaca. Full of movement and humor, the figures spring from the imaginations and superstitions of the carvers, for whom myth and magic are as much a part of daily life as conventional religion.

The wooden sculptures are hand carved then hand sanded and hand painted in their characteristically bright colors. Traditionally, the men are the carvers--the carving is done during the "off" season for farming. Many times, the entire family participates in the creation of the carvings. The women are often the painters of the decorative figures.
