Fernando Botero (1932-)
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
