Sculptures permit me to create real volume One can touch the forms, one can give them smoothness, the sensuality that one wants.
Fernando BoteroI create my subjects somehow visualizing them in my style. I start as a poet, put the colors and composition down on canvas as a painter, but finish my work as a sculptor taking delight in caressing the forms.
Fernando BoteroIn art, as long as you have ideas and think, you are bound to deform nature. Art is deformation.
