Color offset lithograph on paper -Hand signed by Botero

Fernando Botero’s Lussuria (1983) is a limited edition lithograph that showcases the artist’s iconic style of voluminous, exaggerated figures. This intimate scene features two figures in bed, depicted with soft, rounded forms and enveloped in a warm-toned red blanket. Botero’s characteristic approach gives the subjects a sense of both physical presence and tenderness, while the muted palette creates an atmosphere of quiet intimacy. The title, Lussuria, which translates to Lust in Italian, suggests an exploration of sensuality and human connection. Through his unique style, Botero emphasizes themes of desire and warmth, blending humor with an affectionate portrayal of human figures in repose. Hand-signed by the artist, this lithograph captures Botero's nuanced approach to volume, space, and emotion.

His paintings and sculptures often depicted whimsical yet critical scenes of everyday life, politics, and religion, blending humor with social commentary.

An artist is attracted to certain kinds of form without knowing why.
- Fernando Botero

Known for his instantly-recognisable, signature style labelled ‘Boterismo’ - a depiction of figures and people in a large, exaggerated fashion and a representation of both humour and socio-political criticism - Fernando Botero was one of the most successful artists of Latin America. His employment of flat, bright colours alongside distinctly outlined forms was 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. Botero captured 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.
