Armando Fonseca V

'The Animal in the Stone' illustrated by Armando Fonseca, received a Golden Apple at the International Illustration Biennial in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The images share habitat and dialogue with a poem by Julio Serrano in the book. The book acts like a cave where text and image are two stones that collide to produce fire, the fire that draws near, ignites, transforms and illuminates the imagination.
