Renaissance with a twist

    Brazilian Street Artist Eduardo Kobra has created a mixed media mural measuring 12m high by 20m wide in Carrara, Italy.

    He painted the work directly onto the marble at the top of one of the quarries in Carrara at an altitude of 1000m.

    The site is known as a favourite spot of Michelangelo and many other artists who sought out the perfect marble for their masterpieces.

    During his adolescence, Korba would draw on walls as a tagger, but it wasn’t until the Millennium that his urban art truly began to gain visibility. In 2007, his work featured prominently across media outlets because of his project Walls of Memory. It depicted scenes of São Paulo in the first half of the 20th century.

    The self-taught muralist admits that he learned and developed his art by observing the work of artists he admires, such as Street Artist Banksy and in 2009 Korba developed his 3D painting style.
