The Fat Chick

There is a prominent sculpture in one of the city squares here.

The sculpture is by Fernando Botero and hes famous for his paintings and sculptures of "fat" Colonial gentry... To me it implies the gross excess of wealth in the colonial Spaniards... but thats just me, I have no idea what the artist may be trying to imply or not...


and this sculpture "The Gertrudis" is no exception...
Well, lets just say that there's plenty of material to work with...I couldnt resist having a bit of a play around with my camera :)
