These collages are a series of characters that I invent by cutting from here and there, playing at exchanging sex, age, religion or any other human or animal condition.

I call them creatures; they do not exist, if they had done so the world would be different.

Raquel Sanz Parra

Madrid, 1975
Although I studied Library Science and Documentation, I have always been dedicated to the theater (stage machinery, props and set construction), combining these jobs with my artistic interests.
.
I first trained as a ceramist at the Escuela de Arte Francisco Alcántara and the Escuela de Cerámica de La Moncloa.
.
I received the National Award for Excellence in Design and was a Leonardo Fellow. Then I set up my workshop in Madrid, -espacio contorno-, from which I prepared some exhibitions, conceived an alternative pottery fair (living from the bowl), and tasted the sweetness of the "puestodeartesanía".
.
At present, and without leaving my hands in the clay, I am developing a work on paper. It is a series of collages with different characters that I create by cutting out everything that comes to hand. This work is called creatures and allows me to take a little revenge on everything that irritates me (sexism, homophobia, speciesism, classism and other arrogance), while I have a great time connecting with a childhood when I played with cut-outs; but better, because now I am not constrained to some little dresses, but I can exchange bodies and heads at will, giving rise to beings that are not but it would be great if they were.
