Adam and EveFernando Botero

136
In this 1990 bronze monumental pair, Botero reinterprets the biblical Adam and Eve through his signature voluminous style. By emphasizing exaggerated proportions, he challenges classical ideals of beauty and highlights sensuality, humor, and human vulnerability. The figures stand in silent dialogue, framing Medellín’s iconic Plaza Botero outside.
