Fernando Botero Angulo was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor, born in Medellín in 1932. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo," depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece.
Botero was for years considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Self-appointed "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions across the world by the 1990s. His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors.
In 2012, Botero received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.
