Eduardo Kobra’s. Colorful Reality

Eduardo’s works are remarkable not only for their incredible realism and brightness of colors but also for the depth of the message – his murals address global humanitarian problems and moral issues. Fans call him The Giant of Frescoes, while he prefers the name Street Soldier. What do we know about the artist? Eduardo Kobra is self-taught. Born in 1976 in a poor area of Sao Paulo, at the age of eleven he began his experiments with graffiti on city walls. He was particularly influenced by such icons of monumental painting as Banksy, Keith Haring, and Diego Rivera. In the early 2000s, Kobra created the Memory Walls project. The aim of the project was to transform the appearance of urban space with the help of works of art. In 2011, Kobra painted his first mural outside of Brazil, in France. Now the artist’s track record includes more than three thousand frescoes on five continents. In 2016, Kobra painted a mural called Las Etnias. It was dedicated to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and was at that time the largest in the world. But the record holder did not stop there, a year later he outdid himself twice with his monumental work at the headquarters of the Cacau exhibition. The artist spent 700 hours to create this masterpiece covering 5,742 square meters.
Now Kobra is working with a whole team of talented artists. Every month we receive from two to four new murals in different cities of the world.
