During 2005, a Mexican telephone company will sponsor a traveling exhibition in 4 different venues in Mexico City and as an introduction to these events Paul Latapí O. wrote the following: The Ghosts of Armando Garcia de Fernando What does the world around us? How we see hundreds or thousands of people we encounter every day in big cities? They are faces that pass and go, leaving hardly a trace in our memory. This is how Armando Garcia de Fernando portrays the human environment: are ghosts that appear, emerge, and will pass in a fog that is the anonymity and insignificance.
His style is not free: the result of a lifetime in the arts academy, and looking in places as diverse as Mexico and Spain. The result is this surreal fantasy so unique, so inimitable that portrayed in each of his works.
Armando with his work leaves a chronicle of how we see the world today, in the beginning of the century XXI.
