BILBAO, Spain – The Basque cartoonist Asier Sanz has won the First Prize in Personal Caricature in the Sixth edition of the World Humor Awards, which is awarded in Parma (Italy), by a collage-caricature of Donald Trump made with a beef chop.
In this international contest, organized by the Lepidus Cultural Association, in the Italian city of Salsomaggiore, in the province of Parma, graphic humorists from all over the world participate by invitation, and in this edition they have presented their works 250 artists of 75 countries.
About his award-winning work, Sanz explained that he imagined that Trump could be made with a meat cutlet and spent six months touring butchers and supermarkets until he finally found a cutlet that was more or less the right shape, in the one that cut her profile with a knife.
“It is the collage that I have taken the longest to create. For me it has been like a psychomagic act ”, he pointed out.
It is not the first time that former President Donald Trump has been a source of inspiration for Asier Sanz, who has caricatured him on several previous occasions.
In 2017, Sanz won the Luigi Mari Award in the 29 º International Biennial of Humor in Art, in Tolentino (Italy), with a collage by Kim Jong-un, and in that same contest he won the Audience Award with his cartoon-collage “Trump Fast Food”.
A year later, a Trump collage made with mortadella, a banana, chorizo and cardboard, which was published in Tapas magazine, went viral on social networks and later was the cover of the book “Fake Views? The Donald Trump Book covers ”, by British writer Ben Arogundade.
