View on the Pragda STREAM site

A portrait of the multifaceted life of Eduardo Kobra, a renowned Brazilian street artist whose journey unfolds between reality and reverie. The film chronicles Kobra's evolution from a rebellious youth clandestinely graffitiing São Paulo's streets to his transformation into a global peace activist known for painting over 50 expansive murals in New York City.

Lina Chamie's immersive filmmaking style allows us to intimately explore Kobra's inner world as he reflects on his artistic influences and the profound impact of New York's vibrant artistic community on his work.

Kobra Self-Portrait not only celebrates Kobra's monumental artistic achievements, including creating some of the world's largest murals, but also reveals the personal and philosophical depths that underpin his kaleidoscopic portrait.
