Brazilian Artist Sets World Record

The city of Rio de Jainero is best described with colour, style and cultural  vibrancy. These descriptions illustrate the 560-foot wall that now holds a Guinness World Record.The artist whose name is Eduardo “Kobra” Kobra and his team has tirelessly designed a canvas that embraces the title: Largest spray paint mural by a team.The largest spray paint mural covers an abandoned warehouse in the Port District is titled “Etnias”Korba’s work is regarded as high quality because it is an uncanny combination of ability and artistry.His work has redefined the incredible “rua” known as Olympic Boulevard, to be lined with five indigenous faces of tribal people from differing continents. The choice of faces was made by the artist based on the number of rings presented in the Olympic symbol.Each portrait in the mural exhibits the Mursi from Ethiopia, the Kayin from Thailand, the aged faces of the Huli people from New Guinea, the Supi from Europe, and the Tapajos from the Americas.The illustrated faces are 51 feet in height and stretches 560 feet in width. It watches over the 1.9 mile street that is filled with live music, bars, fireworks, and food trucks in celebration of the magnificent Olympic Games.Kobra said to the press: “I wanted to show that everyone is united, we are all connected.” The work of this brilliant artist and his team has received elevated levels of media attention for its grandeur and harmonious message.It took Kobra and his team 180 buckets of acrylic paint, 2,800 cans of spray paint and 7 hydraulic lifts to finish the piece.Kobra and his team were set to hit the mark for the project under 45 days to complete the work of champions, and to finish in time for the games. His effort,  which is aimed to promote peace through art, is just a section of a bigger picture.
