FERNANDO BOTERO

Considered one of the most recognizable and influential artists of
20th and 21st-century art, the extraordinary works of the famous Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero have been installed and exhibited globally in the most important museums and cities.
Characterized by his distinctive style of smooth inflated, rotund and voluptuous shapes, that denote his subjects, this monumental 4.5m high work evokes a sense of abundance, a sensuality of form and generosity in a powerful, often humorous exploration of power, politics and art in contemporary society. Made out in bronze in our Foundry, the roundness of the surfaces, their finishing and assembly required a high level of craftsmanship and experience in manufacturing to achieve the integrity and uniformity of each part.
