Welcome!

This is our inaugural issue of Romero Britto's monthly enewsletter Inside Britto.

This is an exciting opportunity for us to present Romero's most recent work before it's exhibited to the public, as well as provide you with behind the scenes information and invitations to exclusive gatherings.

The newest works being completed in the studio are simply stated, fun! That is to say there is a large amount of playfulness evident in the style and subject matter.

But for this first issue of Inside Britto I want to talk about one of the most recent and new favorite of mine, a nighttime surfer named "Francis Mary".

Not a lot of people know that "Francis Mary" is the name of the daughter Romero has always dreamed of and in this work she comes to life as a surfer… Many of our collectors often ask us "How does Romero continuously create joyful works without becoming redundant or (eek!) stale?" Let’s face it –like anything important to us, an emotional connection will be made - art should make us feel. Name: Francis Mary Type: Original Dimensions: 36x60 Material: Acrylic on canvas

What is so important about Romero’s art is that it can make us feel a multitude of feelings that will inspire you: fun, silly, amusing, enchanting, charming, pleasing, comical, zestful, whimsical, serene, decadent (oh, yeah!), fresh, fanciful, delightful, sweet, etc.

"Francis Mary" for example is obviously experiencing a passion in her life – maybe it’s a secret passion?

Whatever it is, the feelings are strong – the night, the ocean, is it a source of power? Can you feel the thrill?

Is it a source of power? The night, the ocean?

The red surfboard might make us think so; at least it does to me. Does the darkness of night add to the thrill, can you feel the chills?

As the water laps against her ankles, is she feeling for the tide? Waiting for that one perfect wave- that one perfect wave.

Depending on your mood, "Francis Mary" may be a reminder for patience. Something like, good things coming to those how wait.

Then again, she inspires me to go after my desires - to go for the challenges we seek.

Our nighttime surfer reminds us also of simple pleasures and of harmony with nature, of perfect balance.

Can you smell the salt air in the rich aqua and green waves, I can? But not always...

I sometimes look at it as I'm leaving the gallery and feel the same wind that blows through her hair.

It reminds me of the cool nights and light breezes here in South Beach. Maybe I’ll take a walk down Lincoln Road before going home tonight…

Certainly, for "Francis Mary", night surfing is not simply exercise!

Fortunately, a "happy" artistic style can embrace numerous emotions that are universal. As such, a Britto will captivate our senses and lend itself to the entire atmosphere of a room.

I can see it hanging in the living room of the summer beach house as well as in my daughter's room... reminding her that anything is possible. Our working studio is infused with this energy.

I encourage you to visit Britto Central and experience a personalized tour and to see "Francis Mary" firsthand.

For Romero, any subject can be joyful. The opportunity to share that joy and know that it is uniquely translated for each of us keeps his art alive. How does the emotion translate for you? Let me know click here.
