If you have walked in the neighborhood of Raval, you have probably already seen this friendly-looking character created by Botero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"sculpture<\/a>Fernando Botero <\/strong>is a Colombian sculptor and painter from the city of Medell\u00edn. Botero<\/strong> is famous for his unique pieces, created under his own version of figurative art. His style is so particular it has even been called \u201cboterismo\u201d.<\/p>\n

His pieces are easily recognized by critics and the public, due to their exaggerated volume, strength, sensuality, exuberance. One of the characteristics that make Botero\u2019s<\/strong> work so easy to recognize is the interesting, almost comical way the artist represents anatomy, in a disproportional yet visually pleasing way.<\/p>\n
