With ‘Pop by Nature,’ we are redefining the way people interact with art and food, and ultimately bringing a fresh and vibrant perspective to everyday life.”
The campaign features engaging experiences and interactive platforms including:
- High-Impact OOH Billboards: Britto's iconic artwork will live on dynamic OOH billboards in cities around the world, featuring a giant Chiquita banana characterized by pronounced outlines and multicolored patterns.
- Interactive OOH Ads: An engaging interactive OOH experience will allow people to color the artwork via touchscreen in public spaces like bus stops, subways and airports.
- Art Installations: Romero Britto will create sculptures, turning Chiquita bananas into permanent installations in major cities worldwide.

To bring the fun to consumers worldwide, Chiquita will also release a limited-edition Pop by Nature sticker collection that will feature designs from Britto’s campaign artwork. Consumers can recreate his artwork by collecting all 6 stickers in the collection, which fit together perfectly to complete the art puzzle.
“I am delighted to work with an iconic brand as Chiquita on this exciting campaign—the vivid and lively tropical nature of Chiquita bananas provides a fun canvas to share my art and inspire happiness in billions of people,” said Romero Britto. “This collaboration is a wonderful opportunity to blend the worlds of art and nature and there is no one better than Britto to help bring ‘Pop by Nature’ to life in such a dynamic and colorful way!” added Dr. Lucas Vidal, CEO of the BRITTO Organization.
