Eduardo Kobra is an artist born in Sao Paulo and has become one of the most recognized muralists of our time, with works on all five continents. Kobra's relentless passion for historical images often found expression in massive murals, serving to revive the significance of places and strengthen the sense of belonging for their residents.
His sensitivity to social issues gave rise to the "Augmented Reality" project, in which he painted ten panels in ten days in 2015, always drawing attention to important issues. This ranged from highlighting a missing girl to a homeless person who wrote poems, as well as the story of a financially disadvantaged dancer from the outskirts of Sao Paulo.
Kobra firmly believes in the transformative power of art, which led to the creation of the Kobra Institute. The institute has a nationwide reach in Brazil and carries out various types of actions, including providing food, culture, and more.
In the institute's initial initiative, Kobra transformed a disused 1.3-meter oxygen cylinder into a unique work of art called "Breathe." Kobra painted the cylinder to appear transparent, with a tree planted inside.
"The central message is the importance of life. May the breath of my art help deliver some oxygen to the most needy hospitals and, at the same time, provoke reflection on the importance of wearing masks, washing hands regularly, maintaining social distancing, and, of course, preserving nature, which is a heritage of all humanity," says the artist.
One of the most celebrated actions of the Kobra Institute was the fundraising for the construction of two oxygen plants in Manaus during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

Read more about Geova Rodrigues' career and the social significance of his designs below:
Born in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, Geová Rodrigues is globally known for his contribution to the fashion industry through upcycling.
According to Geova, this practice of creating something new from something old has been passed down to him through generations. His mother would repurpose household items like old agate pots into flower vases and the clothes of his older siblings, bringing something new to the younger ones.
Geova moved to Sao Paulo in the 1980s and started as a visual artist, holding exhibits for the "Conexão Urbana" between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Always promoting recycling, the discarded materials from the trendy Oscar Freire street served as the raw materials for his artworks.
In 1998, Geova made his New York Fashion Week debut, and in 2001, he opened his atelier in the East Village.
Geova continues to source materials from thrift and vintage stores, buying one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, receiving fabrics from designer friends, and creating new custom articles you can feel good wearing.
He will be exhibiting some of his fashion items at the United Nations in February and teaching Brazil's first class on upcycling at the Belas Artes University, in Sao Paulo.
