Rayma Suprani is a Venezuelan cartoonist who was dismissed by the newspaper El Universal in 2014, reportedly for drawing a cartoon mocking the late president Hugo Chávez.
While Chávez loyalists have had harsh words for her criticism of the regime, others have praised her for her “distinctive powers of observation” and “fine intelligence.”The critic Alfonso Molina praised her work writing“the work of Rayma Suprani in El Universal unites intelligence, sensitivity and talent to express our life as a country through very sharp vignettes that are not intended to make us laugh but to make us think.
Journalist and cartoonist, she manages to communicate her ideas in a very personal way, but always with a collective sense.”
