Giovanni Battista Braccelli, an artist from Florence, Italy, created a series of imaginary characters in 1624 called Bizzarie, featuring elements like clouds, diamond-shaped tiles, chains, and kitchen equipment. During the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, Alejandro Magallanes, inspired by the lack of social contact, decided to create his own fantastical people, filling a notebook with unique characters, each with their own shape and personality. This transformation of Bizzarie into a search for human connection highlights the unpredictable nature of an artist's work and the importance of personal attention. Magallanes provided poet Tedi López Mills with space for creation, allowing her to give each character individual care and write her texts on the same page. This collaboration between Alejandro and Tedi represents a cultural marriage of independent minds, showcasing the beauty of artistic expression and the power of collaboration.
