Among the first-time exhibitors at the 2025 Feria Maestros del Arte was award-winning alebrije artist Pedro Luis Carreño Ramírez from San Dionisio, Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca.

After earning a degree in engineering, he shifted careers to continue the family tradition of crafting whimsical wooden figures, a practice passed down through four generations of his elders.
