Darío Castillejos, representante del más valioso humor gráfico mexicano Por : Francisco Puñal Suárez
El dibujante mexicano Darío Castillejos Lázcares es un poeta de
la imagen humorística. Los lectores del periódico El
Imparcial de Oaxaca buscan
con interés, en cada edición, sus trabajos de opinión, que lanzan dardos contra
los males de la sociedad en que vive. También Darío publica sus
caricaturas en la revista Foreign Affairs Latinoamérica y el semanario El
Chamuco, y trabaja para las agencias Caglecartoons, Courrier
International, VJ Movement, y es director general del Club de la
Caricatura Latina Cartonclub. Recientemente el Instituto de Artes
Gráficas de Oaxaca recogió su muestra La rebelión de la Tinta, con una
extraordinaria aceptación del público.
Sus dibujos, con una técnica impecable, tienen un compromiso con
la imaginación y la crítica social. La ironía y la sátira son elementos
presentes en sus caricaturas, que han sido apreciadas y aplaudidas en
certámenes celebrados en Brasil, Cuba, Grecia, Portugal, Francia, Perú,
Colombia, Estados Unidos, Turquía, Holanda y desde luego en México, entre
otros.
Su fructífera carrera como dibujante le ha dado numerosos
reconocimientos: Obtuvo el Premio Estatal de Periodismo e Información Benito
Juárez García; el Premio Nacional de Periodismo José Pagés Llergo y el Premio
Nacional de Periodismo, así como el Galardon Nacional “Rostros de la
Discriminación Gilberto Rincón Gallardo” y Primer Premio del III Concurso
Internacional del Cartón, de Sinaloa entre otros. En el 2011 ganó el 38º
Salón Internacional de Humor de Piracicaba, Brasil, uno de los más prestigiosos
del mundo, con una caricatura de un hombre pobre que pide dinero y tiene un
espejo en su cara.
“Aunque esa escena –expresa Darío- ha sido presentada en
infinidad de maneras, aspectos como este llegan a ser inagotables cuando se
abordan desde una perspectiva distinta y personal. La crisis
económica ha golpeado de manera importante a los países latinoamericanos,
dejando a muchas familias en la indefensión. El egoísmo, el despilfarro, la
corrupción y el cinismo de los poderosos han impedido la posibilidad de
crecimiento para muchos pueblos Si nos reflejáramos cada uno en la necesidad
del otro quizás las cosas fueran muy distintas”.
Su dibujo Justicia en Crisis, que refleja la represión que sufre
el pueblo que protesta, le valió este año el reconocimiento del Consejo
Ciudadano del Premio Nacional de Periodismo A.C. “a los periodistas que
sobresalen por su desempeño y ejercicio cotidiano del derecho ciudadano a estar
informado, por la calidad de su trabajo y por la oportunidad periodística
ejercida en beneficio de la opinión pública. Este reconocimiento se otorga bajo
las premisas de autonomía, independencia, imparcialidad, pluralidad y
responsabilidad”, según expresa la entidad.
“Me gusta referirme – añade Darío- a los temas que nos causan
incomodidad, aquellos que están en el rumor público, como la mala administración
de la justicia, la criminalidad, el narcotráfico, etc. Trato siempre de
abordar la política con una mirada crítica y humorística, con la
intención no sólo de denunciar sino de que se pueda hacer un ejercicio de
reflexión en cada caricatura. Nuestra obra es un contrapeso social al
poder, en todas sus manifestaciones. La crítica es necesaria en una
sociedad que aspire a la democracia, y el humor es un buen estimulante para
despertar la conciencia. La caricatura en México tiene una larga tradición en
la prensa, sin embargo, actualmente, muchos caricaturistas no pueden vivir
de su obra. Además, el clima de violencia y desamparo que sufre el país ha
puesto en riesgo a todos los trabajadores de la prensa, incluidos los
humoristas gráficos”, concluye.
