Rayma Suprani (born 22 April 1969) is a Venezuelan cartoonist. In 2014 she was dismissed by the newspaper El Universal for drawing a cartoon criticizing 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.”[1] She was forced to leave the country and now lives in exile in Miami, Florida[2]

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.”[3]
