About Jesus Sosa Calvo:

Jesús Sosa Calvo is a master artisan from San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca, renowned for his exceptional work in crafting alebrijes—vibrant, intricate wood carvings that have become emblematic of Oaxacan folk art. Over the past three decades, the town has transformed from focusing on embroidery to becoming a hub of alebrije creation, fueled by a global fascination with this unique art form. Jesús’s pieces stand out for their whimsy and fine details, making him a highly sought-after artist whose work captivates collectors and admirers worldwide.

His work embodies a deep connection to tradition and reflects the timeless nature of Zapotec art—a perspective where time is perceived as a vast, profound lake rather than a linear stream.
