Eduardo Kobra and his majestic murals

Eduardo Kobra is a Brazilian street artist from Sao Paulo; a master of murals, he combines different techniques like traditional brush-work, airbrushing and spray guns to create majestic works that stretch the limits of classification.

His talent was born in various areas around his home-city in 1987 and since then he never stopped: streets, walls, everything can become a canvas to Kobra.

His paintings stand out for the chromatic strokes and the enormous dimensions.
His art explores topics like the fight against pollution, global warming, deforestation and war, also sometimes including the representation of some popular icons, going from the father of the city of Sao Paulo, Oscar Niemeyer, to the 'great thinker' Albert Einstein.

For the creation of Niemeyer's mural he worked six hours everyday for two weeks with the help of four other artists.

The result is a giant portrait that covers one side of the skyscraper on Avenida Paulista, one of the most busy streets of Sao Paulo.
His homage to Einstein can be found on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles.

He recently started a project called 'Walls of Memory', based on old images of the cities he's painting, gathering them together from museums he visits.

The idea behind this project is to create a city that no longer exists, to give a snippet of its past to those who didn't live it and bring a moment of memory or nostalgia to those who were there.

His aim is to both make people aware of important problems that affect our society while also embellish the urban environment.
