Eduardo Kobra - The 9/11 victims
The 9/11 attack was a big thing that had happened and a lot of dogs and people had suffered from depression. Eduardo created this mural because he aimed it at showing the essence of his work as a muralist and his view on the world, As in immigration and refugees, as well as the history of the city. He said it had taken 3 years for him to complete this mural and that he sees the mural as “the capital of the world”.
I chose Eduardo Kobra because he paints things about what is happening in our world and what problems have been happening, he has been making a few things known by his art. Eduardo is from São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Eduardo goes around his country and around the world painting things that have happened in the past or are happening at the time.
He has a lot of paintings around the world and they all have a certain meaning, some could be based on what is happening in the world during the time he is painting. Mind you, many many people paint something related to what is happening in the world during the time they’re painting. In a large amount of murals Eduardo Kobra has painted they have to have something to do either with the city or with the time.
Eduardo Kobra had made this painting in new york for the men/women who had been a victim in the 9/11 attack on the 1st of september 2001. Many many people and animals had been affected on the day of the attack, Some people had suffered for years until they had gotten help, the victims of the attack went through a lot and Eduardo Kobra thought that they should be recognized upon the city and world.
