Believing that with each new day comes the hope for a better tomorrow, internationally renowned artist Romero Britto gifted “A New Day” to Sylvester. The custom work of art, created in Britto’s iconic style of vibrant colors and bold patterns, depicts the sun as a heart radiating light and love. The work expresses the message Britto hopes to deliver through his art.
“I want all those who see this piece, especially those who are suffering, to look to a new day knowing that tomorrow will be better than today and yesterday,” said Britto, who founded the Happy Art Movement with the mission to inspire happiness, fun, love and optimism through art.
Britto’s vision for “A New Day,” which hangs on the third floor of the Griffin Cancer Research Building, came during a tour of the 12-story, state-of-the-art research and clinical care facility. After walking through the space, observing the light and reflecting on how patients would experience the artwork, he came up with the concept for the inspirational piece.
“Tomorrow is going to be brighter, and new opportunities and a new sort of energy and love are coming their way.”
“A New Day” complements other artwork curated for the Griffin Cancer Research Building, all of which is part of Sylvester’s holistic approach to patient care. This approach extends far beyond clinical treatment and promotes quality of life through supportive care services aimed at addressing each patient’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
