Man Playing Contrabass - 1999

There are claims that Master Botero’s paintings evoke musical language since Botero’s work has a Colombian background and tradition. This comes out clearly in the paintings that portray musicians. These pictures are full of movement and life. The subject matter offers the artist a great opportunity to propose distinct compositions where his frontal characters ironically play, sing, and dance to a defined environment.

Botero’s work is connected closely to his personal experiences in leisure, love and music, with a touch of sentiment and humour.
