La Maternidad, Bronze sculpture in Escandalera Square, Oviedo, Spain
The bronze sculpture La Maternidad stands over 2 meters high and weighs 800 kilograms, displaying a mother figure in Fernando Botero's volumetric style.
Fernando Botero created this sculpture in 1996, adding to his extensive collection of public artworks that represent his signature volumetric artistic expression.
The sculpture represents motherhood through Botero's characteristic style, reflecting universal themes of maternal care and family relationships in contemporary art.
Located in central Oviedo, the sculpture offers numerous photo opportunities and includes ramps for wheelchair access throughout the surrounding plaza.
The polished bronze surface creates different visual effects throughout the day as sunlight reflects off the rounded forms of the maternal figure.
