"
Inocencio is the creator of several distinctive styles of carved and painted wooden pieces.  He is best known for his
borrachos
(drunkards) often in the ironic form of angels, his human-like devils, and human or human-animal
nahual
musicians.  In Inocencio’s
pueblo
, residents enjoy recalling the traditional belief that ordinary people can turn themselves into animals at night, particularly when there is a full moon. Many of Inocencio’s creations lend themselves to assemblages, such as four drunken angels or four devils seated on individually carved chairs around a table, or skeleton dancing partners.  Another is a band composed of musicians in varied poses such as a
marimba
trio. Many of Inocencio’s figures have articulated joints, one of his signature features.  He prides himself most on his jointed devils.
