Cranio is an artist originating from the streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since 1998 he has been painting the grey walls with his vibrant Blue skinned characters. His work reflect the Brazilian aborigines, and his sculptures populate the globe in various contexts.
But his work is not only artistic and enjoyable, which is already a lot, Carnio has many things to tell. His art is made to compel the observer into some form of thinking, regarding some oratory issues in our existence such as consumerism, political matters, environment, and individuality.
The most recent of number of fun characters of cranio was spotted in berlin at the time of world cup in 2014. An era when many Brazilians seized the chance to rent out their houses to financially buoyed tourists, and travel around the world.
Fortunately, I had the chance to watch Cranio at work painting one of his characters on the wall in Magnet club in Kreuzberg.
