    Fernando Botero

    Born in Colombia, 1932
    Fernando Botero, a Colombian-born artist, has left his mark on contemporary art with his unmistakable style, often referred to as 'Boterismo'. Since the 1960s, he has been celebrated for his exaggerated, voluminous figures, which transform everyday scenes, portraits, and historical themes into something whimsical yet profound.
     
    Botero’s art, with its rounded forms and exaggerated proportions, is both a tribute to and a satire of traditional art and societal norms. His work is often figurative and playful, however presents a blend of politcal commentary and humour.

    - Fernando Botero

    His paintings and sculptures, often infused with a subtle sense of humor, explore themes of power, society, and the human experience, while reflecting his deep connection to Latin American culture. Botero's style has earned him international acclaim, making him one of the most recognisable and influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. His work is displayed in major museums and public spaces worldwide, where it continues to engage audiences with its blend of charm, critique, and distinctive form.
