Colombian artist Fernando Botero lived for a few years in Italy before making Paris his home, though he still visits Medellin once a year. This creative spirit forged a unique style, appropriately called “Boterismo”, characterized by gross, exaggerated figures reminiscent of the Baroque. His “Circus Woman” is a prime example of the artist’s humorous and whimsical approach to reality.
