Pepe Santiago Oaxacan Dog Alebrije — Hand-Carved & Hand-Painted Wood Sculpture
Vivid and full of character, this hand-carved and hand-painted wooden alebrije dog by renowned Oaxacan artisan Pepe Santiago exemplifies the intricate artistry of San Martín Tilcajete, Mexico. Crafted from native copal wood and signed by the artist on the underside, the sculpture bursts with life through Santiago’s rhythmic brushwork and finely detailed patterns.
Painted in a dazzling array of turquoise, crimson, lavender, yellow, and ivory tones, the long-eared canine form brims with energy and charm. Each meticulously applied dot and scale evokes the signature Oaxaca folk tradition—where color, craftsmanship, and imagination converge. Santiago’s work is widely celebrated for its bold designs and exceptional finish, and this piece stands as a testament to his mastery.
