Romero Britto is one of the most prestigious artists in the world and his works are influenced by the cubist and pop art styles. From cubism, he extracts the deformation of the human or animal anatomy and from pop art the colorful colors and messages of impact.
We can recognize his artistic works by their bright colors, with well-defined lines that are reminiscent of stained glass windows, geometric shapes and the absence of depth in the composition.
The artist has his own gallery in Sao Paulo, inaugurated in 2011, which brings together collectible works and art objects.
