This Halloween, Manolo Bakes, famous for its irresistible Manolitos and Palmitas, has decided to break with the established. In collaboration with renowned illustrator Fernando Vicente, they have launched a special edition of their boxes and cups under the concept Bizarre Circus.
Manolo Bakes se adentra en la spooky season de manera gráfica con una serie de cajas habitadas por los personajes de Bizarre Circus del artista Fernando Vicente. El circo se convierte aquí en la principal fuente de inspiración con la que ilustrar el terror suspendido en lo lúdico. Que empiece el espectáculo.
A bizarre circus through three main characters: a ringmaster, a trapeze artist and a juggler.
‘What I wanted to express with these characters is that duality between the festive and the dark, something that is very present in my current work. The mistress of ceremonies has a penetrating gaze, the trapeze artist is elegant and ethereal, and the juggler has a playful but disturbing air’, comments Vicente.
This creative collaboration brings the terror of the circus to the national brand with a cast of gloomy characters painted in oil, later digitized, which also reflect the artistic identity of Manolo Bakes.
