Romero Britto is an artist who creates a completely new expression that reflects his optimistic faith in the world around him. Eileen Guggenheim wrote it best when stating "Chagall's floating lovers seem to foreshadow so many of Britto's buoyant exultant couples." Alluding to influences of early and modern masters, Britto's pulsating colors, pop themes and commanding compositions have led him to become the premier contemporary Artist of his generation.Romero is an artistic activist for charitable organizations worldwide and most of all an artist who believes "art is too important not to share." Romero has been an advocate for foster children and has collaborated with ARTrageous by creating art since 2001. He generously donates to over 250 charitable organizations a year. Not a silent activist, Romero was a selected speaker for the arts at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2006, '07, '09 and '10. Further, this year Romero is proudly an inaugural founding benefactor of the Harvard International Negotiation Program, committed to developing and supporting the powerful role art will continue to play in world issues.
