Who, what ,or where am I? #29

Question

I have somebody in mind and you are going to guess who that person is. I give you 3 'free' hints that all have to do with 'my' person:

If you still don't know who it is you can now start asking me questions to which I can reply with yes, sí or no. We've done it before and before and before

Good luck!

Answer 1

Hmm.. These are famous paintings by three different artists. Everyone probably knows that the first painting is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". The second one is Diego Velázquez's self-portrait and the last one is a famous painting by Jan Van Eyck.

Is the person you're looking for a painter? 'Cos there's three here. Jajaja!

Answer 9

Fernando Botero, born April 19, 1932, is a painter and sculptor from Colombia.
He has made his own versions of the 3 famous paintings I showed you before in his own style, called 'Boterismo'. The main characteristics of Boterismo are a smooth-style and size XXXL with unexpected shifts in scale. It reflects Botero's constant search to give volume and mass presence and reality.
His paintings, sculptures, and drawings are exhibited and represented in museum collections throughout the world.

"Botero depicts women, men, daily life, historical events and characters, milestones of art, still-life, animals and the natural world in general, with exaggerated and disproportionate volumetry, accompanied by fine details of scathing criticism, irony, humor, and ingenuity."

Here's a link to one of the many, many websites dedicated to this GREAT artist. .

Answer 10

Hints:
- my artist is not only known for his paintings but also for his sculptures
- he calls himself "the most Colombian of all Colombians"
- he has made his own versions of all 3 paintings we saw in the first hint
