Eduardo Kobra's Niemeyer Tribute

Brazilian mural artist Eduardo Kobra is currently finishing his tribute to the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who passed away last december at the age of 104. The new mural is 52 meters tall, 16 meters wide and it covers the entire side of a skyscraper on Paulista Avenue, one of Sao Paulo's busiest streets.

The work started on January 14th and since then, Kobra and four other artists from his team have been working on the painting around 6 hours a day to finish all the details.

The artwork was inspired by Niemeyer's architecture and among the colorful forms the viewer will find that some of them were based on Niemeyer's works.

Check out the fantastic photos of the work taken by photographer Alan Teixeira.
