Monograph on Venezuelan-born, California-based artist Magdalena Suarez Frimkess. Featuring over 140 ceramic works created over the past 25 years, the book showcases hand-built vases, plates, and figurines that blend mythological figures with characters from cartoons and anime. Her vividly colored, humorous yet melancholic world brings together figures like Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Condorito, reimagined in stoneware with soft yet slightly unsettling expressions. The result is a surreal narrative space filled with parable-like charm—infused with human joy and sorrow and pulsing with expressive energy.
