Fernando Botero’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.

Figurative Painter and Sculptor whose uniquely styled works included "Abu Ghraib" and "Woman with Fruit." His sculptures and paintings were noteworthy for their subjects' exaggerated proportions.
He began his career by publishing his illustrations in the El Colombiano daily paper. He gave his first exhibit in 1948, and his first one-man show was Galería Leo Matiz in 1951 in Bogotá.
His sculptures from 1963 to 1964 were made with acrylic resin and sawdust because he couldn't afford bronze.

He was influenced by Diego Rivera.
