I drew Ragatha as if she were (what is probably best known as) a Mexican rag doll.

These are literally just called "rag dolls" in spanish ("muñecas de trapo"), and I just called them "muñecas" when I was growing up but when researching for this piece I found out they're also called "muñeca leles," and "Marias".

But I believe for most of the world they're just called "Mexican Rag Dolls" due to famously being from Mexico, specifically from the Mazahua and Otomi people. (If you're interested in these little gals; remember to buy from authentic sources!)

I thought it would be fun and cute to make a design for Ragatha as one! I had fun with this piece and all the photos I used for references brought me back to my childhood for a bit.

Silvia Pinal, the legendary Mexican actress passed away today at the age of 93, bequeathing a career that can be summed up in one word: ART.

In the vast library of Latin American culture, Silvia Pinal is not just a chapter or an encyclopaedia: she is an entire bookshelf. Few figures have been so versatile, managing to cover every corner of culture: cinema, theatre, television, cabaret, painting, politics, music, dance... the list is endless.

Silvia Pinal was born on September 12, 1931, on the eve of the celebration of Mexican Independence Day, a direct descendant of father founder priest Hidalgo, her destiny was marked to become an icon of the country.

As a child she studied opera and acting at Bellas Artes. Before she was 18, she had already participated in a beauty pageant, acted in radio soap operas, dabbled in experimental theatre and played minor roles in films.

In the 1950s, she established herself as a central figure in our cinema. Her theatrical training allowed her to shine in dramatic roles, comedies and musicals. Between 1949 and 1959 she filmed 50 movies. In that period she won three Ariel awards and appeared on a hundred magazine covers. Diego Rivera immortalised her in a famous life-size portrait, a gift from the painter to the diva.

Silvia rejected Hollywood and went to Europe. In 1961 she starred in Luis Buñuel’s ‘Viridiana’. Her performance was awarded the Palme d’Or at Cannes, but in Spain, the Franco dictatorship considered it blasphemous and ordered the film to be destroyed. The film survives to this day thanks to the fact that Silvia hid a copy in the lining of her coat.

A visionary, Silvia revolutionized theatre: ‘Mame’, ‘Hello Dolly!’, ‘Gypsy’... she brought the best Broadway musicals to Mexico. In 1988 she opened her first theatre: Teatro Silvia Pinal, and went on to have three more.

She had already done it all, but cabaret was still missing. In 1981 she debuted as a showgirl at the El Patio nightclub, where stars such as Judy Garland and Edith Piaf shone. Her show, directed by Sergio Japino, Raffaella Carrà’s choreographer, was a resounding success.

Rest in peace, Silvia Pinal Hidalgo (1931-2024). You are and will remain unique.
