After four years at the Äcole des Beaux-Arts, Botello returned to Spain and participated in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). As a result, he had to flee the country and eventually immigrated to the Dominican Republic, where he was warmly welcomed. In 1944 Botello moved to Haiti and met his wife. In order to capture the beauty of island life, "the Caribbean Gauguin" used vivid, bold colors. To reside permanently, Botello and his family chose San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1953. The 33 years that Botello lived in Puerto Rico are considered the most prolific period in his artistic career. After his death in 1986, Angel Botello left behind an impressive legacy of oil paintings, lithographs, linocuts, serigraphs and bronze sculptures.
