Fernando Botero Angulowas born on April 19, 1932 in Medellín, Colombia. Medellín
His paintings and sculptures are, on first examination, noted for their exaggerated proportions and the large bodies 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."
He is an abstract artist in the most fundamental sense of the word, choosing what colors, shapes, and proportions to use based on intuitive aesthetic thinking.
