when art is not looking perfection . . .

One of my favorite painters is Fernando Botero. He was born in Medellin, Colombia, in 1932. His art is characterized for being created by fat people. If I had to choose one of his pieces of Art, I would choose Los Bailarines (2000). I think that Fernando Botero can show his art, and be a successful painter, not just with perfect people. In fact, all his paints are compounded by fat women and men, and I think it's really interesting. Why just perfection is beautiful? For example, in this image, we can see a voluptuous couple dancing, and I can image that couple everywhere! Maybe my parents, some friends, a couple inside a “Fonda”, etc! That’s what called my attention of Botero’s art. In our real world, people are not as perfect as we can see on TV. We all have defects, things that we would love to change, but the important thing is to accept ourselves as we are. And I think this kind of art is helping us to accept our body like something natural. We can be fat, and we can still being beautiful! So, pelase, if you are sad because of your appearance, look for Fernando Botero’s art, and enjoy looking his paints! 
