Botero: A Life in Fullness is the first immersive experience dedicated to Maestro Fernando Botero — and it’s far more than an animated biography. This 45-minute journey functions like a living canvas, drawing you into the stories, memories, and artworks that shaped his extraordinary life. Seen and told through the eyes of his eldest son, Fernando Botero Jr., the show follows Botero from his Colombian beginnings to global recognition. History, artistic influences, and personal recollections weave together to reveal how his distinctive style took shape over decades.

As the space shifts and transforms around you, Botero’s bold, voluminous forms come alive in unexpected ways. Moments from his life merge with scenes from his art, creating an experience that is both moving and deeply personal.

Narrated by Botero Jr., the journey offers an intimate look at the artist’s humour, struggles, and triumphs — and at the man behind the masterpieces. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a life lived in fullness, and to a legacy that continues to grow.

Botero: Heart of Volume
