Largest Street Art Mural in the World

in colourfulphotography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra has set a Guinness world record for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. He painted a 2787 square meter (30,000 square foot ) mural on Olympic Boulevard in Rio. "Ethnic", or "We are one" as it was originally called, shows five faces from five different continents representing both the five Olympic rings and the cultural diversity of the Games.

Kobra: “These are the indigenous people of the world. The idea behind it is that we are all one. We’re living through a very confusing time with a lot of conflict. I wanted to show that everyone is united, we are all connected.”

He worked for two months on his 15m high and 170m long mural, during which time he used 100 gallons of white paint, 400 gallons of coloured paint and 3,500 cans of spray paint.

Der brasilianische Straßenkünstler Eduardo Kobra hat für die Olympischen Spiele 2016 in Rio einen Guinness-Weltrekord aufgestellt. Er malte ein 2787 Quadratmeter großes Wandbild auf dem Olympic Boulevard in Rio. "Ethnic", oder "Wir sind eins", wie es ursprünglich genannt wurde, zeigt fünf Gesichter aus fünf verschiedenen Kontinenten, die sowohl die fünf olympischen Ringe als auch die kulturelle Vielfalt der Spiele repräsentieren.

Kobra: "Das sind die Ureinwohner der Welt. Die Idee dahinter ist, dass wir alle eins sind. Wir durchleben eine sehr verwirrende Zeit mit vielen Konflikten. Ich wollte zeigen, dass alle vereint sind, wir sind alle verbunden."

Er arbeitete zwei Monate lang an seinem 15 m hohen und 170 m langen Wandbild, wobei er 100 Gallonen weiße Farbe, 400 Gallonen farbige Farbe und 3.500 Dosen Sprühfarbe verwendete.
