If you could have ever walked the beautiful outside mall area in Miami's famed South Beach, then you may have surely noticed your justifiable share of actually crowd pleasing stores. I at all times really feel a bit of giddy every time I see Dylan's Candy Bar and I have video of my toddler son freaking out at all of the sweet choices there. If high-end clothing, handbags, and jewelry are your factor, they've were given your covered there too.

But there is every other storefront fixture that's definitively "Miami" for me, and it's probably as a result of it is the first place I ever encountered the person's unique artwork: Romero Britto's Gallery. The sharp, white walls that extend up to a yawning ceiling punctuated with colourful and unique sculptures and artwork provide as much visible eye candy as Dylan's...well, nearly. (Eating painted porcelain and canvas is nowhere near as relaxing as sour peach rings).

Romero is a celebrated artist with a cultured this is undeniably his personal. But as original as his paintings could be, it seems that he has fallen into certain creative tropes that exist outdoor of his work and feature poured into his existence, if one restaurant is to be believed.

The "brilliant artist as an a-hole" is a stereotype that exists in books and movies for a reason why: almost certainly because these pretentious and rude other folks are in response to real people.

Maybe Romero was having a foul day when he visited Tapelia Spanish Cuisine in Miami Beach, or perhaps it was a case of miscommunication, however he allegedly was being a big time jerk to the team of workers at the restaurant in accordance to Madelyne Sanchez, who operates Tapelia.

The @onlyindade account studies: "Her side of the story is that Mr. Britto himself entered her restaurant with a group of friends and after asking her employees to basically shut down the restaurant for himself, he was very disrespectful and humiliating to her entire staff in various ways. Prior to the incident, Madelyne was a fan of his and her husband gifted her one of his pieces as you all saw... and you saw what happened next."

The tournament that "happened next" was Madelyne, after corroborating the treatment Romero subjected her group of workers to, took the $4,800 piece of art to his gallery and after chewing him out for the way in which he handled her employees and telling him that she used to appreciate him as an artist, she smashed the piece to the ground right in front of him. You can watch the entire factor beneath.

He became off feedback cuz he did not need 2 listen truth. Truth is, regardless if this happened in 2017 or now or ANY time, him coming in w/a birthday party of 20 in her restaurant & asking extra cut price on already discounted breakfast THEN treating workers badly wanted 2 be known as out.
