Paintings An indispensable figure on many international art and social scenes in at least three continents, Botero's "persona" might be compared to that of one of the 17th Century artists he so much admires, Peter Paul Rubens. Rubens represents the epitome of the standard notions of the "Baroque". His own fleshy, eroticized figures, exist in a world exuberance and plenitude in both the realms of the sacred and the profane. Like Rubens, Botero is an individual whose intense engagement with the world around him enriches his perceptions, heightens his discernment of both the material and spiritual nature of specific things, places and people.
