José & Magaly are a talented husband-and-wife team from San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca, a town celebrated for its extraordinary tradition of alebrije wood carving. José carefully hand-carves each sculpture from copal wood, while Magaly brings every piece to life with intricate patterns and remarkably precise hand-painted details. Together, they create vibrant, one-of-a-kind works that honor generations of Oaxacan craftsmanship while expressing a distinctive style all their own. Their carvings are among the most beautiful and distinctive pieces we’ve had the pleasure of offering.
