El Bestiario de la Feria

Do you love books and the fantastic beings that live within?

El Retiro park is magical in many dimensions, especially for the readers. Only them know that a book is like a portal through which fantastic beings can pass.

In The Bestiary of the Fair, the beasts of each open book wander happily, they decided to stay to enjoy the sunny morning, on the banks of the pond or in the shade of an Ahuehuete tree.

The Cheshire cat, the Koi fish or even an elephant from some Indian story... if you are immerse into a good story, you will feel their presence immediately. But if you just passed by them, "fear not" : you will only experience a refreshing desire to read.

This print was a collaborative project, developed exclusively for the RRSS space of the Madrid Book Fair 2022 .

Artist: Rut Pedreno

Rut's inner richness gushes out and takes on a life of its own every time she creates a character or works on an illustration.

Perhaps for this reason, and despite her youth, Rut has already received important recognitions such as the award for Best Children's and Youth Comic from the Barcelona Comic Fair.

Graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid, Rut has collaborated on projects as an independent artist, and although her work focuses on comics and publications, she seeks to break out of that framework by exploring different formats and media such as murals, animation, self-publishing or expository.
