For the past 60 years, Armando Sánchez has been painting the landscapes and people of San Antonio, Texas. A native of San Antonio, Armando excels in capturing the drama and energy of Mexican traditions and its history makers. For example, his rendition of Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata has become the icon of Mi Tierra Café & Bakery.
Armando's classical portraits include his visual rendering of Pope John Paul II, which graces the Chancery of San Antonio's Archdiocese. Furthermore, his National Award Hispanic Poster Child hangs in the Smithsonian National Gallery in Washington, D.C.
He is also well known for his watercolors depicting Mexican American culture. His artistic creations are in the collection of Maya Angelou, Jose Feliciano, Cheech Marin, Mick Jagger, and the University of Texas System Chancellor Mark Yudof. In addition, the University of Texas at San Antonio's President, Ricardo Romo, has selected a diverse array of Armando's paintings for UTSA's art collection.
Armando's paintings have a definite enchilada and Coca-Cola flavor! This native San Antonio artist embraces his Chicano and Tex-Mex roots with a bold, vibrant, and colorful unique style all his own. His extraordinary ability to master multiple mediums only expands his range of talent.
