Human faces, clenched hands, inscriptions and calligraphies are unified in a seemingly chaotic way in the artwork by Armand Cardona, a self-taught painter and draughtsman. His figurative pieces were often developed from the same theme and became a chronicle of our times thanks to his acerbic and critical vision of society. His black and sinuous strokes underline his own particular iconography, which draws on influences as diverse as Romanesque altarpiece painting and mass media. Armand Cardona exhibited his work in many countries such as Italy, Germany, France and the USA, and was awarded the Ynglada-Guillot Prize in 1971.
