Artist Highlight: Eduardo Kobra

Born in Brazil, Eduardo Kobra is a street-artist known for his large, colorful murals. Kobra's use of original and iconic images along with bright, vibrant colors gives the viewer a kaleidoscope illusion. During an interview with Miami Art, Eduardo talks about his work and unique style, "My work nowadays is based on the use of old images of the cities I am painting. I visit museums, check the books and from there I come up with some images from the 20s or the 30s that show the architecture of the city. The idea of the murals is to create a city that no longer exists, so people who didn't live in that time can see it and those who did live back then can have a moment of memory or nostalgia.” Eduardo recently completed work on Los Angeles’ Brea’s graffiti mural wall.
