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 and has works in private collections all over the world.

Alvaro Zardoni, playing with various metaphors chiseled in bronze, gives us a fresh vision with his sculptures -and if I am not mistaken, they are modeled after his own features- offering us a wide range of expressions and signs that achieve a fine and delicate combination to the senses. It is well worth immersing oneself in his series of faces representing the Zodiac, where his imprint is already configured in a bronze that is anything but cold.

...J\'avoue que je suis très sensible à ton art... Tes sculptures me parlent à travers leur calme, qui je pense n\'est qu\'apparent puisque de l\'expression méditative et sereine de tes visages et de tes corp...J\'avoue que je suis très sensible à ton art... Tes sculptures me parlent à travers leur calme, qui je pense n\'est qu\'apparent puisque de l\'expression méditative et sereine de tes visages et de tes corps \"détendus\", se dégagent des tensions et des énergies extrêmes. Avec toi nous sommes dans un monde en appesanteur, de sensibilité et de réflexion... Je trouve ton travail moderne, contemporain et [en] même temps connecté au monde intemporel de l\'antiquité...
