Sao Paulo, Dec 30 (efe-epa).- He paints a 35-meter (115-foot) mural with the same care he gives to an oil portrait. The color blue inspires him, and the work of Spain’s Francisco Goya is in the forefront of his artistic references. His name is Thales Fernando “Pomb,” he’s 31 and is one of the inexhaustible supply of Brazilian graffiti artists.
Following in the footsteps of two of the forefathers of Brazilian urban art – Eduardo Kobra and the Pandolfo (Os Gemeos) brothers – Pomb is also “in constant production,” whether it be on a street or in his workshop in Sao Paulo, located in the traditional Cambuci neighborhood, where he spoke with EFE.
