BirdFernando Botero
This bronze bird (1990), with its rounded form and stout legs, embodies Botero’s blend of simplicity, humor, and monumentality. Though static, the figure exudes quiet energy. Birds recur in Botero’s work as symbols of peace, vulnerability, and resilience—especially poignant given that a larger version in Medellín was destroyed in a bombing in 1995.
