Roots

Botero “My work is a self-portrait of my mind, a prism of my convictions.” Fernando Botero is a Colombian artist with a penchant for voluminous characters and an explosive color palette. His signature style, known as “Boterismo”, depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volumes, which has been used to represent political criticism or humor depending on the piece. Throughout his career, Botero has been adamant that he does not “paint fat people” as many critics have suggested. Rather he sees what he paints as volume, once describ-ing his work as exploring the “sensuality of form”. His portly figures have seen him tack-le a diverse array of subjects including reinterpretations of Old Master paintings, Latin American street scenes, domestic life, and satirical portraits of political figures.
