His “talent” is a controversial topic in Miami because the art industry considers Britto to be too commercialized.

Is it art or mere advertisement?

Broad black lines divide patches of vibrant greens, blues and reds, featuring flowers, hearts,children, couples, cats and many other subjects. His art combines the elements of pop art and cubism, creating the unique Britto Look, much appreciated not only by art lovers, but by companies such as Absolut Vodka, Movado, Publix and Pepsi to name just a few.
The artist finds his inspiration in everyday life. Cheerful works, including a portrait of his son Brendan and a huge sculpture of a big blue dog, are part of the show.

''I hope in the time that we live, my art can bring some sort of good feeling because that it is what my art is about,'' Britto said.
