A different country, a different tone.

Where Mexico had Frida Khalo, Colombia has Fernando Botero. While I of course appreciate the former - in fact, I dare say I prefer her - its hard not to be carried away by Botero. Especially in Medellin, his hometown, and Bogota where his art is everywhere. ... and I do mean everywhere: painter, sculptor, and satirist anywhere his work can go, it does.* Not that I am complaining; what´s not to love?



* Not bad for a living artist.
