Brazilian-born and Miami-made, Pop artist Romero uses vibrant colours, playful themes and abstract compositions to create a style The New York Times says exudes ‘warmth, optimism and love’.
One of 12 children, Romero was initially interested in a law career but aged 20, travelled to Europe to study art, inspired by Picasso and Matisse. Five years later, he moved to Miami where he began his own artistic career and was catapulted to fame where he was chosen by Absolut Vodka for their artists’ showcase.
Romero’s bold and colourful style has not only made him hugely popular with collectors, who include Oprah Winfrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and designers Dolce & Gabbana, but also with companies who want to be associated with his eye-popping style. His work has been licenced to companies including Disney, Apple, Coca-Cola, Hublot, Bentley, Puma, Evian, Samsung, Absolut Vodka, Campari, Louis Roederer Cristal champagne and Rolls Royce.
He has also created numerous public and private art installations and his work has been exhibited in the most prestigious galleries and museums in over 120 countries, including Christie’s, Sotheby’s, the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, Shanghai’s Museum of Contemporary Art and Museo Soumaya, Mexico City.
In addition, he has created giant displays for venues and events including the APM Mall in Hong Kong, Carnival Brazil and Super Bowl XLI 2006 in Miami in collaboration with the Cirque Du Soleil, which was watched by 140 million people. Romero was also the official artist of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, ambassador to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, honorary torch bearer and ambassador for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Raised as part of a large family by a single mother, Romero has never forgotten his humble roots. Living by his own motto – “Art is too important not to share” - he has donated time, art and resources to over 250 charitable organisations, including The Prince’s Trust and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Romero Britto’s art empire is run from the Britto Palace, his impressive 60,000 sq. ft. headquarters in the heart of Miami.
Inspired by artists like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Roy Lichtenstein, Romero describes his work as "colourful, happy and hopeful". His pop-cubist style artworks are widely celebrated, having been exhibited in 30 countries across four continents. Bursting with colour, this brand new selection of artworks features Romero's signature bold lines, stripes and polka dots, along with hand-finished diamond dust!
From Dolce and Gabbana’s closing dress in their 2018 Alta Moda show to Coca Cola’s ‘Happy Holidays’ campaign back in 2011, Romero has worked with some of the biggest names in the world. His collaborations with Barbie, Betty Boop and Disney have seen him transform some of the world’s best-loved characters, including Tinkerbell, Dumbo and Winnie the Pooh. And it isn’t just his collaborators that are on a large scale; he’s created giant displays for venues and events including the APM Mall in Hong Kong, Carnival Brazil and Super Bowl XLI 2006 in Miami - with the latter watched by 140 million people.
Raised as one of nine children to a single mother in Recife, Brazil, Romero has never forgotten his humble roots. Living by his own motto - ‘Art is too important not to share’ - he has donated time, art and resources to over 250 charitable organisations, including The Prince’s Trust.
In 2017, to celebrate the singer’s 70th birthday, he donated 50 of his ‘Music Man’ portraits to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The original work sold for £130,000, with Elton describing it as a “fun, fabulous, rock ‘n’ roll portrait” and all proceeds going to the charity.
