A few more photos I took on the walk through one of my favorite places on earth, Cambuci!

Where the beauty of the graffitis mixes with the ugliness of poverty and violence and homeless people, it makes you feel that you are living in a real world, and is not so pretty but not that bad at all !

It still has so many amazing things to offer, works like that coming from people who lives this reality every day proves how bigger than we know is the capability of the human being to improve itself to achieve greater things, no matter what, where or who !

A cop came to me and said : ” I´m warning you YOU´RE GONNA GET MUGGED! You should put your camera away or you will get mugged! ”

When people realized we were photographing the graffitis they just looked at us and let us do what we were doing, I think they felt we were connected somehow, on the streets respect has a hole different meaning, you gotta be real to stay real !

Nice is making moves to bring Brazilian artists Yusk and Horoiwa, along with Miss G to Australia for 6 months to take part in and contribute to the Melbourne art scene.
Details are still shakey at this point, but until more is locked in, enjoy some of this stunning work by Sao Paulo artist Horoiwa.
At the age of fifteen the young Dante Horoiwa began his career as a commercial illustrator.
Being from a city with such a strong and unique graffiti movement as Sao Paulo, it wasn’t long before Horoiwa, under the name Musta, started becoming actively involved in street art.
The rawness and innovation of the Brazilian street art scene has since become one of the main influences on his work, both on and off the streets.
His other main influence comes from the culture, philosophy, history and art of his Japanese ancestry.
Drawing from his heritage, Horoiwa tries to follow the samurai philosophy and the pursuit of enlightenment. The difficulty and loneliness of which, given the state of the modern world, is a predominant theme in his artwork.
Gladly our country is known for having the most incredible graffitis around the world, and thanks for that most of the best artists of the streets come down here to be part of that and contribute to our open air gallery!
Among the kings of the graffiti art there´s two artists from Chile, not really sure if they´re both were born there, but still they represent another country with some of these amazing talents and graffitis on the streets, I´m talking about the masters GRIM and CEKIS.

Who recently visited our blessed country and chaotic city, Brazil – Sao Paulo. And, luckly for us, painted on one of the best ‘street galleries’, which is the neighborhood where OsGemeos live, called Cambuci.
Always pays off to go there !
