His continuing attraction to the Colombia of his youth is reflected in his paintings of small town Colombian life--middle class family groups, heads of state, prelates, madonnas, military men, prostitutes, etc. In 1973, Botero moved to Paris, where he began to produce sculpture, in addition to painting.  Fernando Botero presently divides his time between Paris, New York and Tuscany. His paintings, sculptures, and drawings are exhibited and represented in museum collections throughout the world.
