His art is not meant to be a caricature but rather an exploration of volume and sensuality in form. He has often stated that he does not paint fat people\, but rather “volume.” \nHis works frequently parody famous artworks\, historical figures\, and political events\, imbuing them with his distinctive style. He has created numerous public sculptures that are displayed in prominent locations worldwide\, including “Mona Lisa” in Florence\, “The Bird” in Singapore\, and many pieces in Medellín\, his hometown\, such as those found in Plaza Botero. \nJoin our networking group in Colombia on Facebook\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Colombia Expats Networking Hub \n \n \n 🌟 Welcome to Colombia Expats Networking Hub! 🌎 Join to our community where you can connect with fellow expatriates\, share your experiences\, and gather invaluable insights about your life in Colombia. 🌆 \n \n \n \n Join Now!
