His employment of flat, bright colours alongside distinctly outlined forms is heavily influenced by traditional Latin-America folk art, as well as the works of Francisco de Goya and Diego Velazquez; one of Botero’s most celebrated works is Mona Lisa, Age 12 a paraphrasing of Leonardo da Vinci’s original work with a twist that alluded to the aforementioned Goya and Velazquez.

« Sketching is almost everything. It is the painter's identity, his style, his conviction, and then color is just a gift to the drawing. »
Fernando Botero

Botero captures the various walks of life to be found in his native Colombia throughout his work in sculpture and painting; Card Players and Death of Pablo Escobar are among the most celebrated of his artistic creations.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism. It particularly describes sculptures and paintings clearly or specifically derived from sources of real objects hence they are representational as the name suggests "figurative art". This term is often used as a contrast for abstract art. However, since the coming of abstract art, this term has been used to mean any form of modern art with strong references to the actual/real world situation.
