- Chances are you’ve seen Romero Britto’s joyful, colorful works of art even if you don’t know him by name. He’s the most licensed artist in history, and his art is everywhere. Exhibited in museums, train stations and hotels. Featured at sporting events like the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup. Displayed on vodka bottles, luggage, sneakers, watches and even bananas. The artist has come a long way from his humble roots in Brazil. We visit Britto at his Miami studio to learn more about his process and why he makes his art available for everyone.

Most licensed artist in the world and hardly anyone watching this has heard of him
Wow! Here in Brazil his art is very commom.
Most licensed doesn't mean being famous or well-known as "the artist". You can't deny that his art style is somewhat familiar to most of the people though (despite not knowing who the artist is).
I love his Disney creations
Edge Jones I prefere hum like this than becoming some Kaws shit
talk about yourself, here in my country is everywhere, and i think in all of latin america
I like how he kind of looks like a cartoon character
is dat yoonbum I see
Rip yoonbum
@@mrchapstick6897 is that a spoiler
I just realised i have a deck of cards with his art on it...
awesome
Your so lucky
Noice
wow you do
@@christiewilson260 oh yeah I do...
Oh and since this comment some how have so much likes, and because I have nothing better to do, I'd like to clarify thay it's not like he hand-painted the deck, it's just a deck of cards with his art printed on it. And to make me sound even less cool, I totally lost those deck of cards...
I can't say I've seen his work or know who he is, but man his art is beautiful and vibrant, I can tell why he's so popular!
brentstah Well, being vibrant and having anything pop culture involved will get you major attention.
he looks like his art.
i can't tell if that is a compliment or an insult.
no, his art looks like him
So this is what its like when the artist owns the company, and not the other way around.
Who's here after the video of a restaurant owner broke some of his art because he was really rude to her staff
Present
I'm here for dat
bro I live in Miami and this guy's art is legit everywhere, I also went to the Miami children's museum school which they showed at 2:40 :D
Same
Live about an hour from Miami and I remember seeing a bunch of his art all over whenever I go there, it’s so cool!
it's insane because growing up in miami, he was an artist that was mentioned in my elementary art class and we even did a drawing/painting inspired by his art and my carry on luggage had his iconic art style on it so i thought everyone knew about him!!
Sometimes simplicity is the most hardest art
How so? His main rule Is being consistent, so how is it “hard”?
"Most hardest"
@@aus-li I'm not sure if this is what baguette means, but another way to think about it is proportions and realism. In most, if not all art mediums, you must first learn realism in order to master a cartoon style so you can get proportions correct and also realistic aspects of characters. You can see that some of the work this guy has done features portraits of people with a cartoon look overlayed over them, and to get those right he would have to learn about the human body, which is (arguably) harder than cartoon styles.
EpicN Cartoons are the exact opposite of realism. You can do whatever you want and don’t have to follow any rules with anatomy. That’s why cartoons are more sophisticated than anatomy, you’re mimicking movements that would be identical to humans. I do agree that learning anatomy can be hard, especially if you wanna be detailed. As a comic artist myself, I trace myself doing poses, so it’s easier altogether.
But this dude is being simplistic as possible and not doing highly defined work, so what you’re saying doesn’t apply to his style.
TECHNOLOGY BASED ARTWORKS ARE THE BEST.
Wow his work is beautiful. Light hearted and happy. And what a colorful fellow he is. Quite literally.

atomicbrain9401 that’s who I thought was n the thumbnail.
For your art
This is so accurate.
Ya dingus
He did a painting of me, just because of my hair when i was younger. Luckily enough my parents were able to purchase the original later on
Brazilian?
Colombian
How does it look like?
l̆̈illy *̆̈ its a portrait of me. Shoulders up. And a lot of emphasis on the hair
U look yummy
Alright.. to the people who haven't heard of him. He's well known in Brazil, my native country. Most people have a love/hate relationship to his artwork, there's really not much in between, kinda lika Keith Haring had ("had" being the key word here) back in the day.
Back in the 90's he did a lot of depictions of dance and that, allied with his simple dynamic style, captivated a lot of people (my sister still has a 3000 pieces jigsaw puzzle of his iconic dancing couple, and she was a kid at the time).
"Serious" artists questioned the banalization of "art", What were his merits? It looked a lot like grafitti, street art, something that appealed to the simplest desires, intense colours drawing attention to nothing in particular.. but.. his art persevered.
One of my idols despised him. A dear friend of mine loved him.
As for me.. I kinda like him.. he brought.. questioning to the art world, at least 'round here. What is art really? Who gets to decide?
You can draw a parallel with pop music if you will. I'm not a fan myself, but when it's done with care, I can marvel with it.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
I think his art is beautiful. I love it.
why do people sound so condescending while saying they’ve never heard of him? he’s a nice guy and a good person let the man live omg
Ahhh not so nice. He was rude to a woman’s restaurants employees
this didn't age well lmao
@@alaia324 can you show me a link to that video?
@@katiatannus3146 czcams.com/video/h4WtbHewZBU/video.html his employee getting mad at him for it and breaking his art
I think his art is awesome.. I just love how bright and colorful it is..
One of my relatives gave me a mug with one of his designs, and it's great. Good to know the story about who designed it. Thanks!i
I live in Miami and his art is literally everywhere here!!
I remembered his art at Miami Beach Florida Fifth & and Alton shopping complex, cute. Never knew about him until see it in Great Big Story :)
I have a picture of my grandmother with him! Were fans of his art work and she went to an art show where he was and he sold some of his works. The bought a piece and he doodled all over the frame of the piece for her, it was awesome! Today it hangs proudly in my living room 😊
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I have seen his work around for many years. So nice to learn more about him. THANKS very much :)!!!!
More COLOR!
And PATTERNS!
❤️ It
✨✨✨✨✨✨
I know this is about fun and all... he is amazing!! ... this still made my cry :/
I love his work. I have several pieces, including one he did just for me. Such an honor. And he’s a wonderful person as well!
I love Romero’s art . He is truly my favorite artist I’ve ever seen and I wish I could meet him one day . I would love to be taught how to make art like his , it’s just so unique and amazing.
my take on how his art is so easy to digest and enjoyed by many people is that his technique and imagination stays true to basic principle of a growing child such as bright contrasting colors, mixed patterns, and random dots and lines. looking at his art really reminds me of my child self trying to figuring out my own imagination.
Good for him! Good job and keep it up
Love his car....he should come to san Francisco. We need him at bland bart stations.
Romero, those plain knee socks... design socks, if you don't already.
He inspired me to keep doing my work , motivated me to stay awake , and he is awesome.
Ricardo Cruz no surprise he has a net worth of $20 million dollars.
*"and you may start to notice they're all over the place"*
*Justin Y.:* _Wait...that's illegal_
This is the wholesome content I needed today
I really like his artwork, its vibrant, colorful, and fun!
This is very inspirational and beautiful!!!
His work is all over Miami...see them on buildings all the time. 💯💯💯
Ive seen his work in many stores I just had no idea who the artist wa behind it. Cool to finally find out
_“..bananas”_
That’s what I call success.
I went on a cruise and they featured some of his art works there. They’re absolutely fun and colorful!
Amazing!♡
I had no idea who was behind all that artwork I’ve seen throughout my life. It’s nice, it’s colorful, it’s pop. I don’t understand why some people are hating/saying that because he’s commercial it’s not art.
I knew about him thanks to Black Jaguar White Tiger, he made a gorgeous piece of art for them honoring one of the first lions that were rescued and he's friends with the owner of the sanctuary. I wish I could buy some of his stuff.
His art makes me happy
I've decided to come back here, after i saw a badass lady smashed his sculpture lmao.
He reminds me of mr.doodle. also i appreciate their art. So many people say that its not art and they can do it but then they say except for the circles. Which is most of the art. I just appreciate how they can draw lines perfectly with no trouble
Success: it’s the most colourful thing to exist.
What a lovely person
His art looked very familiar and I remember I got a britto wallet years ago. Loved the art design, I have seen britto at a store in an airport while in Mexico and during a cruise another time. I guess I mainly see it outside the U.S. even though his work is done in florida.
great guy!
"I just don't want my art to be enjoyed by the elite of the world"
Never known him before but I really loved his creations I even bought a bag and a notebook. If you're from the Philippines you've probably seen notebooks/bags in National Bookstore..Idk if it was for real or just an inspiration though..
I've been teaching my students about him as they always want to know about a famous living artist. We enjoy his pop mixed with cubism art work and I will continue to feature his work in my classes.
this is really inspiring
A few years ago his art became really popular in Puerto Rico. I remember seeing it everywhere, from purses to shirts and jewelry
Brilliant 💖
I remember the Absolute vodka bottles.
They've worked with hundreds of artists, it was my only chance of recognizing his work, and I still failed.
I never remember vodka.
I own a luggage case with the guy’s art style drawn all over it. Man, that’s cool to own something that’s made by a popular artist.
I love our skyline...Miami ❤️. britto was at Jackson memorial hospital while I was here.
Lmfao omfg i was being discharged from the hospital when he was being interviewed for this! Ha ha! 😂
How cool!
He radiates happiness
I legit thought this was Garfunkel for a second.
All different works of art, but still instantly recognizable.
Wow very nice idea,
Love you 😍 👍 ♥ 👌
Never heard of this guy now I have thanks ☺
Damn. Never heard of him. I didn't think I was *that* disconnected from mainstream media and advertising outlets.
Good.
Britto! I’m a huge fan of him! I was looking into buying the bear similar to the one shown for a brief moment of the video, but it costs waaay to much. I guess I’ll have to save up and admire the bear from a far until I can afford it ;,(
Amazing art😍😍😍✌️
I have never seen his art or heard of him till now . The more you know .
Orgulho do Brasil. Apesar de que só conseguiu brilhar depois que saiu do país.
I saw his sculptures when I went to Miami and went to a place where there are a lot of his pieces of art
im watching this for my art class and I love to draw so this is nice
Inspiring
*looks so simple yet so hard*
Extra flamboyant mr. Doodle
I think he got a bit oversaturated here in Brazil because until sometime ago his art was EVERYWHERE
Oh I love this dude he’s all over Florida
Omg he’s in MIAMI I can see this guy :O
I ❤️ you brito
Dis guy talking about darkness when he's wearing sunglasses indoors.......2:50
Godspeed Romero Britton.
Hermoso
He is a legend
i'm pretty sure the many great artists of history are quaking
My school has like a huge statue/sculpture thing (rainbow bear) from him and *e v e r y o n e* hates it so unbelievably much
He is only a good salesman - no artist at all . . .
Guy: Hundreds?
Romero: *thousands*
Yes
He’s stacked
I inspire to be like him
Anyone notice how his socks line up with the chair perfectly?
All these people are saying they haven’t heard about home bout in fourth grade we learned about him and I see his work everywhere!❤️😁
Very epic
His artwork/style is on my school wall
É nois! Brasil sil sil!
Ive seen thee popart dog that looked like blues clues in resorts world sentosa. He really is an amazing artist
I love it
I have one of his paintings in my hall :D
ive literally never a single art piece from this guy
his art is so cute
NICE
It really shows how large the world is. This guy is the most licensed artist in history, companies have reached out to him for years and I’ve never heard of this guy. It’s almost depressing.
i bought one of his works recently
