Statuette "Ballerina (Botero)"

Behold the rare find - a large sculpture (37cm) with a remarkably affordable price, from the skilled hands of globally acclaimed Colombian artist and sculptor, Fernando Botero. This masterpiece is a splendid representation of Botero's signature aesthetic - opulent and full-bodied figures that are impossible to overlook.

One of the most fascinating features of Botero's work is his unapologetic celebration of volume. His preference for robust forms, in particular, the depiction of female figures, provokes an extraordinary range of emotions in viewers - some feel uneasy, while many others are captivated. His sculptures, paintings, and graphic work, featuring exaggeratedly voluptuous women, among others, have etched an indelible memory in the minds of art enthusiasts worldwide.

Fernando Botero's journey, from his early life (born 1932) in Medellin, Colombia, a sketchy city notorious for its drug cartel, to his rise as an international sensation, is as remarkable as his unique art. After losing his father at a young age and combating financial crises, his life took a meaningful shift in 1955 when he started creating sculptures of well-rounded, large figures. His dedication to highlighting overweight figures is seen across his work, often portraying rotund people, animals, and even fruits.

With their delightful charm, Botero's masterpieces have found their way to the street interiors in Paris, Rome, Madrid, New York, Barcelona, and numerous other global cities, and the world's most prestigious museums, adding value and grandeur to these places. Notably, one of his paintings, 'Breakfast on the Grass,' was sold for a whopping one million US Dollars, etching his name among the world's most expensive artists.
