Brazilian-born and Miami-made, Britto is an international artist that uses vibrant, iconic imagery and fun patterns to reflect his optimistic view of the world around him. Self-taught at an early age, Britto painted on scraps of paper or cardboard or any medium he could find before coming into his own and traveling to Paris where he was introduced to the works of Matisse and Picasso. His appreciation of these masters influenced him to create an iconic style that The New York Times described, “exudes warmth, optimism and love.”

MUSIC
“It’s been said that “music is what feelings sound like”. In the midst of this global pandemic, there are some deep emotions that a lot of us are experiencing. To choose happiness, we first need to acknowledge the tension, and music is a great way to help us process those big feelings.
By focusing on the lyrical elements of some of my favorite songs, I’ve compiled a playlist that aims for that elusive sweet spot between hope and happiness. Between struggle and strength. Between chaos and calm.”
