Abu Ghraib (Botero series)

Abu Ghraib is a series of artworks by Colombian artist Fernando Botero. These artworks were designed as an expression to describe his feelings after a whistle-blower leaked images of what took place at the Abu Graib prison in late 2003 after the United States of America invaded Iraq. Through his distinctive style, Botero used inflated figures to represent the dehumanization that took place at that event.

Botero's series is a collection of nearly one-hundred paintings and drawings, focused on the torture and suffering that took place in this particular Iraqi prison.
