SUB_c7c_25803

In 2012, Fernando Botero donated his Stations of the Cross series to the Museum of Antioquia in Medellín. Now, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, he has transformed this masterpiece into an artistic edition that pays homage to the people of Colombia. This is the artist's book that connects the history of art with the memory of the Master. Botero's involvement is present in every detail of this artist's book, created in collaboration with the Museum of Antioquia. It is presented in a display case. Made of methacrylate with a removable side frame, in a vibrant red and bearing the artist's embossed signature, it allows access to the two volumes. An open window dedicated to the grandeur of the Colombian Master's art. The Art Book includes the 34 drawings from the series, reproduced with absolute fidelity to the originals, created in pencil and watercolor on paper. "Each plate is accompanied by a quote from the Bible, printed on semi-transparent red paper." The cover of this bilingual edition, in Spanish and English, features a previously unpublished image, printed on canvas: a silhouetted detail from the oil painting Near the Cross (2010), belonging to the artist's private collection. The key aspects of Botero's Artwork are analyzed in detail in the articles compiled in the Book of Studies. Federico Mayor Zaragoza, former Director-General of UNESCO, highlights the artist's significant contribution to the universalization of culture and art, and David Ebony, an American critic, reviews the key elements of Botero's style. As exceptional contributors to the Museum of Antioquia, its Director General, María del Rosario Escobar, offers a panoramic view of the transformation of Medellín and Botero's role in this change. Camilo Castaño, the museum's curator, provides an overview of the artist's Artwork and analyzes the series in depth, particularly each of the 34 drawings.

The paths and experiences that led him to this world of abstract art began unexpectedly. After years painting landscapes and figurative oil paintings, that moment was a ray of light, a spark of passion and enthusiasm, filled with thoughts and daydreams of expressing what chance, at times, flows through your mind with a sense of indifference. Motivation, sacrifice, and perseverance are necessary to achieve your own identity and allow you to visualize the unknown and profound inner world in order to transmit the gestural and informal magic onto the canvas, board, or paper. of a modus operandi that characterizes him. The creation of his Artworks allows him to communicate a style of influential sensations capable of attracting the viewer. My artistic journey began in the early 1980s with a strong inclination towards landscape painting and the use of oil paint, representing natural scenes with precision and sensitivity. This approach was focused on capturing the beauty of the environment through a figurative and technical language. Over time, I experienced an evolution in my style, moving away from realism to delve into abstract art. This change allowed me to free my creativity from formal limitations, exploring forms, colors, and textures that do not respond to a literal representation of the world, but rather to a more intimate and emotional reflection of my thoughts and perceptions. In abstraction, I found a freer and more personal medium to express what flows through my mind, allowing my emotions, ideas, and inner visions to take shape without restrictions. This transition marked a new stage in my Artwork, where gesture, spontaneity, and intuition became the protagonists. The content of this expression is the humble reflection of an abstract mind.
