Specialization in Ceramic Illustration and Decoration

Chichinabo Inc. is a brand of illustrated ceramics that aims to tell stories, small stories, those of everyday life that often go unnoticed.

Its founder Patricia Lázaro designs and creates small collections of illustrated and handcrafted products from her studio in Madrid. She has designed pieces and gifts for companies such as Google Startups and Santillana, given workshops for IKEA, and worked for beer brands such as Alhambra, Mahou, and Ambar, among many other clients.

Claudia María Gutiérrez, @cayagutierrez, is an illustrator and ceramic artist who originally studied social communication, a profession she practiced for several years. She has illustrated books for multiple publishing houses, completed illustration commissions for public and private organizations, and undertaken many personal projects. While looking for ways to transfer her own drawings onto objects, she discovered the fascinating universe of ceramics, an ancient craft with infinite possibilities. Since then, she has merged the two worlds together.

She won the 2011 Tragaluz Illustration Award (Colombia), was a runner-up at the 2013 Latin American Ilustración -LAI2- competition (USA), got a special mention from the jury of the 2013 Ibero-American Illustration Award (Argentina), and participated in the 2015 Bratislava Illustration Biennial.

Maria José Espinoza is an architect, ceramist, and illustrator and, as a legacy from her grandmother, she has been passionate about handcrafting and exploring different craft techniques since she was a child.

A few years ago she opened her own brand, Pepa Espinoza, where she develops ceramic collections that combine volume and illustration, resulting in decorative and functional pieces. Her style is characterized by a fusion of reality and fantasy, creating magical worlds where nature, dreams, and colors are always present.

Currently, in her studio in Chile, she also teaches ceramics and illustration classes for all those who want to create with their own hands.

Nuria Blanco is a renowned artist in the Spanish design scene, working across several disciplines including drawing, screen printing, painting, and photography. She has received the Best Graphic Artwork prize by IDAE, the Jóvenes Creadores de la Calcografía Nacional certificate, and the “María Salamanca” prize from the Museo del Grabado Contemporáneo in Marbella.

In more recent years, clay has become her material of choice for creating pieces to exhibit. In 2014, she founded her own brand, Vajillasbynuriablanco, which crafts unique hand-painted ceramics.
