About the artwork

As an artist who quickly escalated in popularity and recognition, Britto received coveted commissions beginning with the Absolut campaign that had previously included the works of Pop Art icons Andy Warhol and Keith Haring, and moving to the likes of BMW, Pepsi, the United Nations and Disney; he has also been commissioned to create likenesses of some of the world’s greatest icons, including celebrities and political icons, such as this particular- and almost mischievous- portrait of Queen Elizabeth. At present day, Britto now stands as one of the world’s most recognized and applauded contemporary artists, with public commissions, sculptures, and art collections in cities all over the world.

About the artist

Romero Britto (born 6 October 1963) is a Brazilian Neo-pop artist, painter, serigrapher and sculptor. He combines elements of cubism, pop art and graffiti painting in his work. Britto has lived in Miami, Florida since 1989. Shortly after Britto arrived in the United States, Michel Roux, founder of Absolut Vodka's Absolut Art Ad Campaign, happened to visit Britto's first studio in Coconut Grove, Florida. Roux quickly asked Britto to reinterpret the famous bottle, which would be published and seen by millions. Consistently challenging himself, Britto has completed other corporate works for Movado, Disney, Enrico Coveri, Pepsi, the United Nations, BMW and Royal Caribbean Cruises.
