Fernando Botrero sculptures

Fernando Botrero is Colombia's most famous artist.

These are his sculptures that are in Parque Berrio. The final three are in a neighboring park. The Bird of Peace sculpture was the site of a terrorist attack. When the city asked Botrero to remake the stature, he insisted that the original be kept in its spot as a reminder.
