Armando (1929-2018) is a renovned Dutch post-war artist. As a member of the Dutch art movement Nul and co-founder of the informal group "De Nieuwe Stijl," Armando explored the relationship between humanity, history and violence in his work. His artwork often reflects dark themes and introspective reflections, leaving a profound impression on viewers.
Armando's influence extended beyond the art world. He was a prolific writer, poet and essayist, and his literary works were as powerful and provocative as his visual art. His contributions to both art and literature have given him a place of honor in Dutch cultural history.

Armando's paintings are known for their textured surfaces, evoking a sense of both beauty and unease. In his later years, he masterfully adapted the carborundum printing technique. This process utilizes carborundum's abrasive properties to create textured plates, resulting in prints that mirror the powerful reliefs of his paintings. Utilizing handmade paper and rich lithographic inks, Armando's carborundum prints are truly unique – their limited editions and meticulous craftsmanship make them highly sought-after by collectors.
