Evoking the images of voluptuous, voluminous people and objects, the Colombian figurative artist and sculptor, Fernando Botero Angulo, is highly regarded for his enormous metal sculptures and vibrantly colorful paintings of inflated human and animal shapes with unexpected shifts in scale.

Famous for his signature style, known as ‘Boterismo’, the prolific artist was born on April 19, 1932, in the city of Medellin, Colombia.
