Born on 19 April 1932, Fernando Botero Angulo is an abstract Colombian artist who came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salon de Artistas Colombianos in 1958.
I have a strong admiration and liking for his sculptures which are characterized by proportionally exaggerated figures. He had explained that this inclination arose from natural and intuitive aesthetic thinking. Especially endearing is his recurrent use of the voluptuous female form.
