Fernando Botero Angulo is a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor. Born in Medellín, 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. He is considered one of the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America.
I visited the city landmarks and photographed the famous Botero statues that line the city streets in Botero Plaza near Museo de Botero. This is a must see stop if you visit the city.
