“Frank Lloyd and His Family in Paradise Island” is an artwork created by Fernando Botero in 1972. The piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified as a portrait genre.
The artwork portrays a family of four set against the backdrop of a tropical paradise island. The family members are depicted in Botero’s distinctive voluminous style, characterized by exaggerated proportions and rounded forms. The setting includes lush palm trees and a tranquil landscape, suggestive of an idyllic paradise. In the foreground, a woman in a yellow outfit stands poised, holding a stroller in which a baby is seated, clutching a toy. Beside them, a child in a red top and black shorts stands, slightly elevated on tiptoes. On the right, a man in a formal suit, holding a cigarette and a briefcase, gazes outward. The overall composition exudes a sense of both whimsy and formality, rendered in vivid, saturated colors typical of Botero’s work.
