Zeny FuentesOaxaca, MexicoFolk Art

This is the studio of Zeny Fuentes (Zenen Fuentes Mendez), the famous Oaxacan wood carver and painter!


Growing up in Oaxaca surrounded by the vibrant trade of woodcarving, Zeny himself became a noble wood carver with the help of his famous father, Epifanio Fuentes. The family tradition prevailed over the years and to this day Zeny keeps that family custom alive in spirit of his parents and for the inspiration of his siblings. Zeny hand carves and paints thousands of wooden animals year round and is highly known and appreciated by collectors all over the world.


Zeny takes pride in his knack, therefore he travels to the USA working with museums, schools and universities teaching and displaying his devotion of the Oaxacan craftsmanship.
