Kobra is a Brazilian artist who lives in São Paulo.

Kobra’s career began in his teenage years as a tagger. In the 1990s, he found opportunities creating posters and paintings for events, and gained prominence in 2007 with the Wall of Memories project, which reproduced old photos of São Paulo on the streets.
His art addresses social and environmental issues, including themes such as overfishing, animal exploitation, and global warming. In 2015, the Augmented Reality project highlighted important issues such as disappearances and the stories of homeless people.
In his series Clippings from History, he recognizes the importance of figures such as Martin Luther King and Ayrton Senna. Kobra also portrays personalities who promoted global peace, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai, while also promoting peaceful coexistence through murals around the world.

Born on the outskirts of São Paulo in 1975, Eduardo Kobra achieved global recognition as one of the most renowned artists today, with works on five continents. He holds the record for the largest graffiti mural in the world. Among his iconic works, one of the most remembered is The Kiss, now deleted, which he created in New York. He has exhibited his art at the United Nations headquarters and has taken part in prestigious exhibitions in galleries and museums.
The artist is involved in social causes and founded the Kobra Institute, which seeks to bring art and culture to communities in need and carries out humanitarian projects.
