The wood carving tradition of Mexico

The history of Mexico's carving skulls can be traced back to the latter part of the 1800s, when an artist from Guerrero (Mexico) made an enormous oak skeleton that was painted that was painted in the original style and motion. The skeleton is likely to be connected to the "day of the dead". Today, Mexican craftsmen create wooden skulls using the same techniques that were employed hundreds of years ago. Certain artisans prefer using industrial methods, while others continue to make traditional work using hand tools.

The Seri people of Sonora were forced to relocate from Sonora to the mainland by the mid-19th century. The area was growing rapidly and the villager could earn an income from making wood carvings for tourists. Jose Astorga was an ironwood artist who started carving ironwood characters and utilitarian figures to sell to tourists during the 1960s. The carvings were very well-known and soon were copied by other artists.

The next generation of carvers learnt their trade in the highlands of Mexico. Manuel Jimenez, a native of San Antonio, recreated the alebrijes made of copal wood, and also carved animal figures. Martin Santiago and Isidoro Castro also employed paper-mache to create their sculptures. He invented a brand new kind of Mexican folk art through the combination of imagination and imagination.
