Art about volume —Botero sculptures

Fernando Botero is a famous Colombian sculptor and painter. He is considered the glory of the Colombian state and the father of the people’s faith. Botero’s sculptures create personified three-dimensional images of the characters and scenes between reality and fantasy. Given that the voluptuous form in his art is all about volume and space, His signature style is also known as “Boterismo”.

When asked why He chose a fat man as the main image of his work, He replied: ” I don’t paint fat women. Nobody believes me but it is true. What I paint are volumes. When I paint a still life I also paint with volume, if I paint an animal it is volumetric, a landscape as well.”
Botero promoted the beauty of fat, big and strong to the extreme. If you also like his unique art and would like a piece of his sculpture reproduction, please contact us.
