Alejandro has been fortunate to work with some of the finest ceramic artists in Mexico. While living in Tonalá in 1984, he was introduced to Jorge Wilmot, a recognized worldwide master of ceramics. He studied with him the modeling of modern figures — his inspiration for designs coming from traditional techniques.

To learn about glazing his ceramics, Alejandro was fortunate to work and study with Fernando Carmona.

Inspired by the whimsical and unique barro betus (glazed with a special birch resin) figures of Candelario Medrano, he found new foder for his imagination. Many of his sculptures are plant pots in the shape of women's heads — some are anatomically correct to just below the shoulders. He enjoys making sculptures that have a practical use and personalities.

But probably the broadest influence on Alejandro's work came from the pre-Hispanic designs of Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit. He began to study about the Aztec calendar. Realizing the deep significance of the Aztec calendar, he delved deeper into the meanings of the glyphs and drawings associated with it.

He then began to study the Maya calendar, called Tzolkin, and now uses this calendar to chart in today's world. He has found that the Mayan charts apply perfectly to our lives today. He will offering Mayan charts at the feria the form — are you interested to learn what the Mayan Tzolkin has to say about you? It is much like an astrological chart. Alejandro will ask for your birthday and then give you a short explanation from the Tzolkin about your relationship to the earth, your life, etc.

With each reading, he offers a glazed ceramic piece on a necklace that is "your" Mayan sign. The necklace also has stones and seeds that relate to each sign — special colors, shapes, etc.

The Mayan civilization came into existence for over 1,000 years; the ancient Maya interpreted and understood time in a particular way which was totally different from any other existing culture or civilization. They understood and accepted the fact that time was not linear; it is just a series of repeating cycles (i.e. the end of one cycle is the beginning of the other one.) This is what led to the development of Mayan astrology based on the interpretations of Mayan Calendar.

These symbols are universal in nature. The goal is to become one with the galactic mind. Tarot reading has been very popular with people who are looking for ways to solve their personal difficulty. Tarot cards have been used for fortune telling for ages and have remained popular ever since. They are seen as a means of getting in touch with the spiritual world. The cards are not only related to the picture on the cards, but also have links to elements, astrological signs, and characters of certain alphabet as well. The Mayans used the glyphs of their astrology for tarot reading. The Mayan tarot reading chart consists of glyphs placed in the four main directions of north, south, east and west and the birth glyph placed in the center.
