Punto 4.
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin, Colombia. He painted in the neo-
figurative style and called himself "the most Colombian of Colombian artists." He largely
painted large people – figures that were much larger than life in all parts of their body. His
critics often called them “fat people.” Botero didn’t know the reason why he painted such
obese forms.
While he was living in New York in the 1960s, he found a new inspiration in the Italian
Renaissance. He began to experiment with creating volume in his figures by expanding
them and compressing the space around them. This became his unique and trademark style.
In 1997, Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture ‘Bird’ in Medellin. Seventeen people
passed away in the attack.
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church. These were in the
centuries-old Baroque style and influenced his style. He was never rich enough to visit
galleries and see other works. He held his first exhibition when he was 20, in the capital
Bogota. He used the money he received to go to Europe to study art. Botero’s works now
hang in galleries all over the world. He guarantees millions of dollars for each painting he
does. His works instantly become collector’s items and many people buy them as
investments. In 2005, Botero painted a series of 50 paintings that graphically showed the
horror of the events in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. This was typical of Botero using art for
social commentary.

múltiples beneficios, tanto a nivel personal como profesional. Permite comunicarse con
