Greetings to all my readers on Hive and the Web2 world. A few days ago, I went on an outing in Valencia with my daughter. We took the opportunity to visit the Ateneo de Valencia, excited to see the work of the great Colombian master Fernando Botero, which was being exhibited there. Botero is known for his unmistakable style—"Boterismo"—where volume, monumentality, and voluminous forms redefine traditional aesthetics.

Botero was a renowned Colombian painter and sculptor. He was born in Medellín on April 19, 1932, and passed away on September 15, 2023. His work is recognized by its large, rounded figures—a style known as "Boterismo." In his paintings and sculptures, he depicted people, animals, and objects characterized by their significant volume and vibrant color. His pieces are exhibited in museums and public spaces all over the world.

Almost two years ago, I visited this same exhibition with my eldest son, and this time, I had the great joy of visiting this beautiful space with my daughter. Unfortunately, the experience was dampened by the reality we face every day: a lack of electricity prevented access to several of the galleries. It is truly unpleasant and frustrating that, in our country, we cannot even fully enjoy art and leisure on a weekend due to the absence of such a basic service.

Nevertheless, I refuse to dwell on the bitter aspects. What we were able to see turned into a beautiful moment between mother and daughter. I spoke to my little one about Botero’s fascination with the beauty of volume. Accustomed to the stereotypes of slimness and perfection that society promotes daily, she was pleasantly surprised. It was a great learning experience for both of us: realizing that beauty and artistic sensitivity can also be found in things that fall outside the ordinary.

See you later, and thank you for joining me on this beautiful journey!

Saludos a todos mis lectores de Hive y de la Web2. Hace unos días hice un recorrido en Valencia junto a mi hija, aproveché y visitamos el Ateneo de Valencia con la ilusión de apreciar la obra del gran maestro colombiano Fernando Botero que se presentaba en dicho espacio, Botero es conocido por su inconfundible estilo —el "boterismo"—, donde el volumen, la monumentalidad y las formas abultadas redefinen la estética tradicional.

De Botero podríamos decir que fue un famoso pintor y escultor colombiano. Nació en Medellín el 19 de abril de 1932 y murió el 15 de septiembre de 2023. Sus obras se reconocen por las figuras grandes y redondeadas, un estilo conocido como “boterismo”. En sus pinturas y esculturas representó personas, animales y objetos con mucho volumen y color. Sus obras se exhiben en museos y espacios públicos de distintos lugares del mundo.

Hace casi dos años visité la misma exposición pero con mi hijo mayor y esta vez tuve la gran dicha de visitar este hermoso espacio con mi hija. Lamentablemente, la experiencia se vio empañada por la realidad que vivimos a diario: la falta de electricidad impidió el acceso a varias de las salas. Es realmente desagradable y frustrante que en nuestro país ni siquiera podamos disfrutar plenamente del arte y la recreación en un fin de semana por la carencia de un servicio tan básico.

Sin embargo, me niego a quedarme con lo amargo. Lo que sí pudimos contemplar se convirtió en un momento hermoso entre madre e hija. Le hablé a mi pequeña sobre la fascinación de Botero por la belleza del volumen. Ella, acostumbrada a los estereotipos de esbeltez y perfección que nos vende la sociedad a diario, quedó gratamente sorprendida. Fue un gran aprendizaje para ambas: comprender que la belleza y la sensibilidad artística también residen en aquello que sale de lo habitual.

¡Hasta luego y gracias por acompañarme en este hermoso recorrido!

    It’s a shame that the lack of electricity limited the tour, but what’s truly valuable is how you turned that visit into such a lovely lesson for your daughter about art and beauty—beyond mere stereotypes. And the photos are great! Best regards!

    These sculptures are gorgeous! I love the man abd woman dancing. Although they are monumental, they seem to have a lightness about them ... and joy! 😍 I'm glad you were able to get to see them again.
