Guardian Angel By Britto

Guardian Angel By Britto

Famed artist, Romero Britto, created The Guardian Angel in 1988 as an original canvas that depicts an angel watching over a child holding a heart. This captures the strength and vibrancy of all children who face an early and unexpected loss of life. A modern day pop culture icon, Romero Britto is one of the premiere Pop artists of our time. His original artwork, dubbed the art of healing, brings together bright colours and playful themes with compositional elements of cubism. Britto’s work provides art lovers around the world an open-minded and optimistic view of life, from the mental canvas of an artist who gains daily inspiration from the world around him.

Embraced by the international community, Britto’s paintings and sculptures are currently featured on five continents in more than 100 hundred galleries worldwide. As a talented and creative child growing up in Brazil, Romero Britto often painted images on any medium he could find, including scraps of cardboard and newspaper. His inner passion and drive to excel served as an incredible asset for a young man with a longing to nurture his creative side and experience all that life had to offer. His innate love for learning and education inspired Britto to channel his focus and commitment to excellence into his artwork. This dedication is what has helped Britto become an international success during the last 18 years.

Never forgetting his humble beginnings, and ever appreciative of the many mentors he has had over the years, giving back and lending a hand to those in need has become one of his top priorities. As a result, in 2007 the Britto Foundation was established in an effort to allow him to lend his time, resources and talent to children and organizations all over the world, while continuing to spread joy and happiness through his works. Through the foundation, his goal is to provide support to individuals and organizations who work to create, encourage, promote and preserve education and humanitarian based initiatives benefiting children around the world.
