What started like an act of vandalism some 15 years ago, gave birth to an exhibition at the GGA Gallery, located in Wynwood Walls, Miami. Eduardo Kobra (Brazil, 1975) is the most famous graffiti artist in the world and has already produced more than 500 monumental murals in different countries. Today, he is displaying more than 30 artworks on canvas worth many thousands dollars.

True to his usual colors and shapes, almost as a tribute to his murals, Kobra focuses on sharing a humanitarian and hopeful message. But there are also tributes to other iconic artists, such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and another graffiti artist: Jean-Michel Basquiat.
