“Art should be an oasis: a place or refuge from the hardness of life.”
Fernando Botero Angulo was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. His signature style, also known as “Boterismo”, depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humour, depending on the piece. He was considered the most recognized and quoted artist from Latin America in his lifetime, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as New York City and Paris.
