'Father burnt his paintings many times': Colombian artist Fernando Botero's son


Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero created this gargantuan bronze horse for St Regis Kuala Lumpur.

Standing majestically in the drawing room of the St Regis Kuala Lumpur is a gargantuan bronze sculpture of a horse. Made by acclaimed Colombian artist Fernando Botero, the piece is the largest he has ever made, weighing a whopping 2.5 tonnes.

“I would say one of my favourite pieces of all time is this monumental sculpture at the St Regis, because it’s the largest one, it’s the most powerful one and it’s a symbol that is universal,” said Fernando Botero Jr, the artist’s eldest son.
