Maternidade - Lisboa, Portugal - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Maternidade (Maternity) is a work o Colombian artist Fernando Botero.
Seated, the mother does not look at the son in his lap. For a moment, she is turned away looking at a distant point in the world around. But this horizon that has absorbed her, joins the awareness of your body in contact with his child. The peace which rests upon his hands, draws a perennial and attentive maternal gesture, in contrast to the impetuosity and happiness of the innocent child.

And if the whole leads us to the universality and timelessness of creation within the volumetric voluptuous bronze of his flesh, boils an ancient fertility that nourishes this unbreakable emotional bond between mother and child.

Botero was born in Medellin, Colombia. He studied in Madrid and Florence. He his known for his large volume figures.
