Spirited
"Some people in the arts, they really still believe that art is really only important if you talk about something that's disgusting or horrible or depressing." he says. " I think happiness is not a shallow feeling. It's a very deep feeling." Romero Britto
Romero Britto was born in Brazil and is in his mid 40's. As an artist based in Miami Florida, his work has brought inspiration to his community. He creates very simple drawings of things such as butterflies, flowers, and children. is work tends to be very large in size and is usually found in malls and even on the sides of buildings. His use of bold lines and bright colors tend to catch the attention of young children. It just makes them happy, says Britto. Some say that his work is too simple but he just relpies, " Beautiful things in life are really simple, he says. If you're going to get an orchid, or a flower or an animal, it's simple, it's not complicated."
Britto's work inspires others and brings happiness to his viewers. I hope that my work helps to evoke positive emotions from my viewers as well. His style is completely different fom mine but we share the same purpose in our art making.
