HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

Fernando Botero, born in 1932, is the artist known to the art world as the creator of the so-called “fat figures” that are a hallmark of his art. As stated by Botero himself, this is not an obsession; the artist simply dilates the figures, realizes an enlargement of volumes. Botero’s first “dilation” is not to be sought in a figure representing a living being; the first dilated form is an object, precisely a musical instrument, a mandolin, whose resonance hole was represented with very small dimensions, originating a squat, enlarged instrument, a result that fascinated the artist so much that that “fat” appearance became a sort of hallmark. Marble is formed through a metamorphic process from sedimentary rocks. Its many colors and textures derive from the presence of different minerals that, mixing together, create unique and unrepeatable shades and veins. For thousands of years marble has a place of honor in architecture and decoration of every age and style. Its durability makes it adaptable both to monumental works and to detailed and precious miniatures, giving elegance and refinement to objects.
