Biografia

Djon Brito was born in Cabo Verde and he is still living there with his wife.
At the age of 13 he began to draw and paint as an autodidact.
In the beginning it was only drawing with pencil and charcoal because of the lack of painting products in Cabo Verde. He started to make reproductions and was painting pictures and names on T-Shirts.
Later on he began to work on tissue with oil paint. In 1998 he was introduced during a travel to Portugal in the "Cloretan" technique. Unfortunately these products are not sold in Cabo Verde, so there is always the struggle for the right material.

Beneath all this activities he is still producing wallpaintings, decorations and logotypes to be able to spread some butter on his daily bread.
