ROMERO BRITTO


Born in 1963, Romero Britto is today one of the most celebrated living visual artists and founder of The Happy Art Movement. Rising to global prominence following the selection of his 1989 work “Absolut Art,” he has since been the official artist for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. His work has been exhibited at galleries, museums and public art spaces in over 120 countries, including the Louvre in Paris and Hyde Park in London. Through his use of vibrant colors and bold patterns he expresses hope and happiness—his unique style is instantly recognizable, and he has even been described as a modern-day Picasso.

 
 
 
“The artwork created for the Casiotone came from the inspiration on music.
Every time I am listening to this music, make me feel energized, make me feel happy, make me feel to create even more artwork.“

Sound That Truly Moves You

 

Thanks to Casio’s unique AiX Sound Source—crafted and honed over generations of electronic musical instruments—paired with a very capable acoustic system, the CT-S1FH sounds every bit as striking as it looks: the sounds are full of realism and movement, with every detail brought to life with power and confidence. That feeling of having found the right sound will spur your creativity and make you want to play and play.

A Playful Piece of Pop Art

but a Serious Instrument at Heart

What started as a novel idea of applying a colorful design to the speaker fabric led to this unique collaboration with Romero Britto. To do justice to the bright colors and detail of the design, we used a dye sublimation printing process that could faithfully communicate Romero’s positive worldview. The result is the brilliant Casio CT-S1FH, a keyboard that is not only fun to look at but deeply satisfying to play.

Timeless Instruments Reborn

Footprints that pioneer your future.
