Fernando Botero was born in the Andes Mountains in the heart of Columbia. His work tends to primarily focus on situational portraiture and is noted for exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human and animal figures. He is an abstract artist, choosing what colors, shapes, and proportions to use based on intuitive aesthetic thinking
Comments about Botero

| subject | stylization, known as "Boterismo“ |
| message | Fernando Botero is a renowned Colombian painter and sculptor known for his volumetric stylization of figures and objects. His oeuvre ranges in subject matter, including daily life in Colombia, art historical references like the Mona Lisa, and abuses of power—all unified by Botero’s exaggeratedly rotund figures. This stylization, known as "Boterismo", is often interpreted as a pointed social critique, as seen in his The Presidential Family (1967)
