A Life in Fullness pays homage to renowned Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero with a 40-minute audiovisual portrait narrated by his eldest son. The installation at IMBA Theatre marks the world’s first-ever immersive experience dedicated to the artist’s journey – both as a creative and father. Combining large-scale projections, animations and soundscapes, the showcase plays out like a detailed biography, tracing and celebrating Botero’s life and enduring legacy, from his humble beginnings to becoming a global icon. The exhibition is told through anecdotes and family memories, giving the audience a peek into his personal struggles, humour and joys of making art.
Life in Fullness runs alongside IMBA Theatre’s Botero: Heart of Volume, which presents the auteur’s vibrant paintings, drawings and sculptures in a thoughtfully designed setting that moves between intimate spaces and open, public environments.
