Pop Art Latina

Tal vez el mundo todavía no sepa de todas cosas increíbles que hay en latinoamérica. El arte, la literatura, la música y tantas otras maravillas que hemos hecho hace mucho. In Brazil is quite common to follow (or hear from) American or European trends, what sometimes doesn't go to our Latin American neighbors. I'm sure it's plenty of talented artists here, but I'm writing about two: the incredible Fabian Ciraolo and his "hipster" art, and the amazing fellow countryman painter Romero Britto and their Pop Art Latina...

Liz Taylor by Fabian Ciraolo
Fabian Ciraolo es un artista muy talentoso de Chile, sus obras dan un nuevo significado a imágenes populares que practicamente todos nosotros conocemos desde nuestra niñez como los Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, artistas del cine y etc. Él hace un trabajo tan rico que tengo todavía más ganas de conocer Santiago de Chile, que creo ser una de las más bellas ciudades de sudamérica...



Britto's "Monalisa"
Fabian's paintings are very different from anything I could expect, it's something that makes us think: "my goodness, how human-beings can be so creative!" I must confess I didn't expect to see anything like that in life. Santiago de Chile's a city worth paying a visit!

Darth Vader by Romero Britto

Besides starting writing about a great Chilean artist, I must also write about a Brazilian painter very talented: Romero Britto. His paintings are that kind of thing that you see and don't forget, you may not like them, but you don't forget what you have seen. I think them splendid! 
"Welcome to Heaven" by Fabian Ciraolo

Bien, esto era lo que yo tenía para escribir sobre el arte que me ha impresionado este año. El trabajo de Fabian Ciraolo es muy creativo y interesante. De parte de Brasil, no pude olvidar de hablar también de Romero Brito, que no tiene nada que ver com el arte "hipster", pero trabaja con un arte contemporáneo que es también algo nuevo y increíble. Se conoce a otros artistas que valen la pena conocer, dímelo, va a ser fantástico saber lo que pasa de bueno en nuestra latinoamérica. El arte es algo buenísimo, bueno para la vista y bueno para el alma...



Britto has recentely painted an amazing Jesus drawing, check it out:

Ciraolo's creativity seems to find no limit. I have seen this image before, now I decided to share it with you all. The Dalai Lama is pop too...
