El caballo volador
Andrea Santamarina
Concept
This collection is inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' "Book of Imaginary Beings" and pays homage to the tradition of painting on Talavera ceramics, a craft historically linked to the work of women. Animal motifs, present in the popular ceramics of different cultures, are reinterpreted here with a nod to the mythology and legends of Spanish-American literature, and with graphic references to Beatus of Liébana. The author enlarges the format of these pictorial pieces and uses a high colour scale to bring new value to this tradition, reclaiming the importance of preserving the artisanal cultural heritage and making the feminine role visible in its transmission.

Edition
Andrea Santamarina is an artist whose work combines drawing and ceramics to explore cultural memory and Mediterranean heritage. Her creative process starts with sketches that act as visual diaries, capturing experiences and characters that are then transformed into pieces with a strong link to artisan tradition. Through ceramics, she revives pottery techniques and reinterprets objects that have lost their function over time, giving them new meaning. Her inspiration comes from the urban environment and the observation of people, an exercise that feeds her gaze and shapes her artistic universe.
