CLOSING ON 1 JUNE 2026

Venue: IMBA Theatre, Gardens by the Bay, 18 Marina Gardens Dr, #01-24, Singapore 018953

Step inside the world of Fernando Botero – the Colombian master whose iconic forms transformed volume into a language of warmth, humour, and humanity. Asia's largest and most personal presentation of his work, drawn directly from the family collection.

Asia's Largest Presentation

The most ambitious presentation of Fernando Botero's work ever staged in Asia, featuring paintings, drawings, and sculptures spanning the full arc of his career.

The Family Collection

The works on display come directly from the Botero family collection – a rare intimacy that brings you closer to the artist himself.

The Full Range of Boterismo

From early studies to his most celebrated canvases and monumental bronzes, this exhibition traces the evolution of Botero's signature style: generous forms, rich colour, and a precision that hides behind its own playfulness.

Description
Botero: Heart of Volume is the largest presentation of Fernando Botero's work ever shown in Asia, featuring pieces drawn directly from the family collection, including works never before seen in Singapore. The exhibition spans the gallery and the Gardens: inside, encounter the precision and warmth of his paintings and sculptures at close range; outside, his monumental bronzes shape the landscape with presence and personality. This is Boterismo in full – an expansive encounter with one of the most recognisable artistic languages of the 20th century.
