Arta Brito

United States

Arta Brito is a classically trained oil painter whose work explores gender and queer themes.  Inspired by her life experiences and current events, Brito’s work often resists sociopolitical structures and illuminates historical facts that are purposefully omitted by academia today.

This compelling artist’s work has been shown in over 20 solo and group exhibitions throughout the US and is found in the permanent collections of the Hunterdon Art Museum and Lehigh University Art Galleries.  Brito has been the recipient of multiple awards including the John & Eloise Morehouse Award, the Ten Gold Key from The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and the Outstanding Achievement in Visual Art award from The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Performing Arts.

Brito has studied with a number of professional artists in New York City and she worked for the world-renowned Jeff Koons studios from 2014 to 2016.
