Romero Britto

There is an almost fairy-tale quality to the story of artist Romero Britto.  As a creative yet impoverished child from Brazil, Britto often painted images on scraps of cardboard and newspaper.  He had drive and passion to excel and prospered academically, but Britto was continuously pulled toward his creative roots with a determination to learn and succeed.  Britto traveled from Brazil to Europe and then from Europe to the United States to exhibit and sell his art.  His resolve was strong and his belief in his art was unshakable. By 1989, people of all ages and walks of life were beginning to recognize and enjoy Britto’s style.

The cubist elements in Britto’s work should hardly surprise critics; few artists in modern times have escaped the long shadows cast by Picasso and Braque.  Britto's individual style has emerged from these influences. &nsbp;He incorporates his own style using vibrant colors, pop imagery, and playful patterns of flowers and swirls as well as an inventive use of his signature within his paintings.  Vital to the essence of Britto’s art is its unrestrained optimistic outlook on life.
