Fernando botero angulo biography of christopher

Fernando Botero Angulo (April 19, 1932, Medellin, Colombia) - Colombian painter and sculptor, one of the most famous artists of Latin America today. Botero's works are recognizable around the world for his original style of figurative technology - in the paintings of this artist people, and often objects, look exaggeratedly voluminous. Fernando Botero is not only called "the main landmark of Colombian and Latin American art" - the artist can compete with another famous compatriot, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, in popularity.

Features of the artist Fernando Botero: if in his youth Botero’s paintings were so stylistically diverse that viewers could take them for the work of various artists, the current style of the artist does not change over the years.

Among his works are parodies of famous paintings by European artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Raphael, Jean Auguste Dominic
