Jacobo and María Ángeles

• San Martin Tilcajete

Angeles and wife Maria have become a major figure in the Oaxaca handcraft scene, traveling extensively to promote alebrijes and Zapotec heritage. Their work has been exhibited in major national and international exhibitions. Their alebrijes have been exhibited in this country in venues such as the Smithsonian Native American Museum and the National Museum of Mexican Art.
They are listed as a grand master by the Fomento Cultural Banamex and their work have been featured in several books. In 2014, Jacobo, along with other artisans from Oaxaca, was invited to the Vatican to meet the pope and to place 1,200 nativity scene figures and Christmas tree ornaments, which were exhibited at the Vatican Museum. Their works can be found in collections in many parts of the world.
