Athena's Mochuelo is a magical creature in the vast Mexican imagination, born from the fusion of fantastical beings, in this case, the owl and the monkey. What sets this alebrije apart from traditional Mexican craftsmanship is the use of painted tesserae employing the zentangle method, renowned for its meditative qualities. In Greek mythology, the owl was the loyal companion of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Creativity. This mythological connection deeply draws me to this unique and fantastical creature.
