Romero Britto (born October 6, 1963[1] ) is a Brazilian artist, painter , serigrapher , and sculptor .[2] He combines elements of cubism , pop art , and graffiti painting in his work, using vibrant colors and bold patterns as a visual expression of hope, dreams, and happiness.
Biography
[ edit ]
Britto was born in Recife , Brazil and grew up in poverty.[3] [4] In 1983 he traveled to Europe to study art, where he was influenced by the works of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso .[3] In 1988, he moved to Miami , where his current studio remains.[5] His first major commission was to design artwork for Absolut Vodka for a 1989 campaign.[3] In addition to his sculpture and fine art work, his designs have been used by Disney , BMW , IBM , Apple Computers , Grand Marnier , Pepsi , and Royal Caribbean Cruises , and been featured on a variety of consumer goods, such as Barbie dolls and pet collars.[4] [3] [5] According to a 2023 documentary about him, Britto is "the most collected and licensed artist in history."[4] Some of his public art installations are at Hyde Park, London , the O2 Arena in Berlin , and the John F. Kennedy Airport .[5] He also designed a Miami water park.[6]
Britto's charitable work has supported over 250 organizations.[7]
In 2020, a restaurant owner purchased one of Britto's artistic works; a porcelain apple, and proceeded to smash it in front of the artist at a meet-and-greet, alleging he had behaved abusively towards her staff. [8] [9]
Political views

Britto is a conservative. In 2015 he hosted a fundraiser for Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush at his Miami studio[10] where he unveiled a mural that he and Jeb Bush's wife Columba had painted with the slogan "#AllInForJeb".[11] Previously, Britto held a fundraiser at his gallery for 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney .[12] He publicly supports Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro , and in March 2020 he gifted Bolsonaro with his own portrait.
