Reclining Woman is a sculpture by Colombian artist Fernando Botero, known for his distinctive style, often referred to as Boterism. The sculpture depicts a reclining woman in a classic pose, and is an example of Botero's ability to exaggerate shapes and sizes, which is a central theme in his work. The artist's work is heavily inspired by both Colombian and Spanish art, and he has achieved international recognition despite opposition to his unique expression.
The sculpture is located in Ekebergparken, which also offers tours and sculpture walks for visitors. A distinctive feature of Botero's artworks is that they allow touch and interaction, which gives the public an opportunity to experience the art in a more direct way. Ekebergparken is known for its combination of nature and art, and the sculpture "Reclining Woman" contributes to the park's rich artistic offer.
