For 'the outstanding quality of his graphic work and the original visual exploration of his illustrations, as well as the breadth of a symbolic universe rooted in popular culture, with archetypal references reinterpreted in a poetic way',
Mexican illustrator Armando Fonseca has been chosen as the winner of the 16th Iberoamérica Ilustra Catalogue, awarded by the SM Foundation in collaboration with the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL).
The prize, which comes with a $5,000 award, as well as the opportunity to design the cover of the catalog and have a space to exhibit his work within the FIL Guadalajara, will be presented at a ceremony scheduled for Sunday, November 30, at Expo Guadalajara.
