Colombia's most famous artist, Fernando Botero, who was known for his voluptuous depictions of people and animals, has died aged 91, President Gustavo Petro announced on Friday.
Botero's works of plump and slightly surreal forms - often with a touch of satire or political commentary - are enormously popular and have been displayed in cities around the world, including Bogota, Madrid, Paris, Singapore and Venice.
