Eduardo Kobra is among the most recognized figures in contemporary street art, with hundreds of photorealistic murals spanning five continents, from Japan to Malawi to Norway. Known for his vibrant, kaleidoscopic style composed of repeating geometric forms, Kobra often reimagines cultural icons and celebrities at monumental scale. His best-known work, The Kiss (2002) in New York City, transforms Alfred Eisenstaedt’s famed V-J Day photograph into a towering rainbow-hued mural. Alongside his public projects, Kobra also creates large- scale mixed-media paintings in his signature style, drawing inspiration from pichação—Brazilian graffiti—and the street art traditions of his native São Paulo.
