His Father's Son
Philippine Tatler|December 2017

He may not be an artist, but Fernando Botero Jnr is making great strides as an art advocate who tirelessly promotes the work of his famous father, Colombian artist Fernando Botero

His Father's Son

In many cases, the children of famous artists usually follow a similar career path to that of their parents. This is not the case with Fernando Botero Jnr, who opted for a career totally at odds with that of his father, renowned Colombian situational portraitist and sculptor Fernando Botero.

The eldest of the artist’s three children with his first wife Gloria Zea, the younger Botero was born in Mexico in 1956. Not being particularly gifted in the arts, he chose to enter government service, having earned a Political Science degree from the University of the Andes in Colombia.

His first political stint was as private secretary to Alfonso Lopez Michelsen, president at the time of the Colombian Liberal Party. He was elected senator twice and finished his political career by becoming Minister of Defence during the term of President Ernesto Semper.
