Luis Pablo: Sapphire Dodo Alebrije

This dodo alebrije by Luis Pablo is a real delight. Its tall neck, rounded body, big orange feet, large hooked beak, and three bold crest feathers give the bird a quirky look. It instantly makes you smile, and the carving feels both balanced and purposeful. The colors Luis Pablo uses here really stand out. Bright cobalt and turquoise blues cover the body in feather-like strokes, while the yellow face and orange beak make a strong, lively contrast. Red, purple, cream, and turquoise around the neck and crest add extra energy. Each color looks clear, bold, and thoughtfully chosen. What I like most is how alive this extinct bird seems in Luis Pablo’s hands. Its wide golden eyes, upright stance, and proud expression give the dodo a unique personality: curious, proud, and a bit odd. Hand-carved from copal wood and painted in Oaxaca, this joyful and original alebrije shows how Luis Pablo can turn an unusual animal into something truly memorable.
