If you are one of those who really enjoy Eduardo Kobra’s incredible work, we have some great news. The artist decided to open the doors of his studio at the FAMA Museu, in Itu, São Paulo.
That’s an opportunity to see his works up close, which are known for their unique features, full of colors and beauty.
The studio is not just a place to display paintings. Eduardo Kobra wanted to make this space a true invitation to art, making it accessible to anyone who wants to appreciate his incomparable technique.
Who is Eduardo Kobra?
Eduardo Kobra, a true urban artist, started coloring the streets on the outskirts of São Paulo at the age of 9.
Now, with more than 35 years dedicated to art, Kobra has become an icon of “Street Art”. His murals, recognizable by their vibrant colors and striking features, are spread across more than 40 countries, on five continents. From New York to Tokyo, Kobra’s immersive art captures hearts around the world.
The most interesting is that he decided to share one of his workspaces to make art and culture more accessible to everybody.
“I came from the outskirts of São Paulo and only went into a museum for the first time as an adult. And now, it is in a museum that I open one of my studios to the public,” shares Kobra.
The studio at FAMA Museum has already opened
February 24 was a special day for Itu, with the opening of Eduardo Kobra’s studio at FAMA Museu. It looks like the city has gained a rainbow of art and culture.
“Kobra is an artist who shines around the world, and he chose the city where he was born to set up this studio. And it’s not just any city, it’s Itu, full of history and meaning for São Paulo. This just shows how much space and prominence culture gains in our state”, said Marília Marton, Secretary of Culture, Economy and Creative Industry of the State of São Paulo.
In addition to being able to appreciate an incredible part of the artist’s collection, you will also have the chance to closely follow the evolution of his works.
This studio is simply a crucial point in the muralist’s journey. You can explore it all from Wednesday to Sunday, from 11am to 5pm.
And to make this experience even more accessible, entry to the museum costs just R$10 and on Wednesdays the visit is free!
Kobra Institute: Social Transformation through Art
In addition to the studio, Kobra founded the Kobra Institute in Itu, a project that aims to promote social transformation through art.
“The Institute will have a complex where workshops, lectures, exhibitions will take place and we will talk about the history of street art,” explains Kobra.
The FAMA Museu, where Eduardo Kobra’s Studio is located, has motorized chairs, ramps and adapted bathrooms, making it accessible to wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility.
