Escaping
To escape the poverty that he grew up in, Britto began to paint just to let his mind go to happier places. As he would continue drawing and painting as a child, people started to notice that he had real talent. It didn’t take long before he began to sell his work.
At a young age, Britto was already painting and drawing all of the time and really getting good with his hands. He was able to help his family survive and would begin to really make a strong name for himself in the local art scene. When he got older, he was a solidified artist in Brazil and lots of people knew about him.
