Susana Espinosa (Argentinean, 1933 - 2022) was an internationally renowned ceramic artist and a member of the International Academy of Ceramics. She won medals and honorable mentions in international events, and her work is featured in museum collections in Puerto Rico, Japan, (the former) Yugoslavia, Italy and the United States. She received countless commissions to build ceramic murals since the sixties; one of the best known is at the Bacardi distillery. Her use of glazes was spare; instead she allowed the fire and oxides to give monochromatic hues to her work. Her most personal work focused on quasi-mythological characters, crafted with impeccable technique.
