Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero Angulo is a Colombian neo-figurative artist.
His paintings and sculptures are, on first examination, noted for their exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human figures and animal figures.The “fat people” is what they are often called by critics. Botero explains his use of obese figures and forms as such: “An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why. You adopt a position intuitively; only later do you attempt to rationalize or even justify it.”
