Alvaro Zardoni

Mexican artist Alvaro Zardoni’s sculptures are classical in their figurative style, but incorporate an element of fantasy and inventiveness that brings to life the ancient tradition of bronze portraiture. Using common found objects, Zardoni personalizes the characters whose faces he sculpts—giving them horns and headpieces, hairstyles and other ingenious accessories. Zardoni’s fine craftsmanship and creative use of paint and patina transform the bronze into jewels of contemporary figurative sculpture, faces imbued with psychological intrigue and latent emotion. His subjects are somewhat solemn in expression, but each reveals a playful twist—even an element of irreverence to the formal medium in which Zardoni works—through the imaginative addition of various materials, including, remarkably, chocolates and feathers.

Zardoni was born in Mexico City’s Colonia Roma and studied architecture at the Universidad Anahuac in Mexico City. A self-trained sculptor, Zardoni has shown work in numerous exhibits in Mexico City and the state of Mexico, and has works in private collections all over the world.
