Fernando Botero paintings

Fernando Botero’s paintings are characterised by their distinctive use of voluminous forms and exaggerated proportions, creating a unique visual language that blends realism with playful, often surreal exaggeration. His subjects, ranging from figures and portraits to still-lifes and historical scenes, are depicted with rounded, inflated figures that imbue his work with a sense of humour and irony. Botero’s use of bold, vibrant colours and rich textures adds depth and warmth to his compositions, as seen in works like The Musicians.
