Description

Sao Paulo, Nov 20 (EFE)l (Camera: Sebastião Moreira / Wallace Carvalho).- "I realised that if I stop painting, my death is imminent", Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra describes his relationship with art in a "very hard moment" of mourning after the loss of his baby. Kobra lost her baby just 12 hours after her birth and immediately fell ill with lung disease. Now, the street artist shows his last work from the top of a 33-meter-high building located in Sao Paulo.FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF STREET ARTIST EDUARDO KOBRA:"I realized that if I stop painting, my death is imminent. I have to keep painting to feel alive, to feel active." "When the pandemic began I lost a daughter. My wife was pregnant, the baby was born and 12 hours later she died." "I immediately ended up falling very ill due to a serious lung disease" "Although I come from a poor origin, from the periphery, from a simple place, with all the possibilities that were open to me of crime, violence, drugs and various other things, my interest in the streets was always in the sense of art" "I never followed this path (of art) for financial reasons or recognition. I continue painting because that is in me, it is part of who I am. Painting is my hobby, my passion, what makes me happy".

It was the first road that my eyes saw and my legs touched. It is the first experience you have of the outside world when you were small until you became older. There are paths and spaces that mark your life, and this one marked mine.- I have many plans on the way. It is a family business that was started by my great-grandfather, then was passed on to my grandfather, father and uncles. I was going to focus on music but the blood and the legacy are calling.
