Rio is wilful. Despite the fact that the financial center of Brazil is Sao Paulo and the capital is Brasilia, Rio remains to be the main image
and symbol of the country. Hot beauties from Copacobana and Ipanema
beaches, tourists who can't help staring at them hoping for a good night
with one or maybe even two Brazilian babes. In this Babylonian mixture
there are divine wonderful Brazilian Catholic girls, crazy artists and
wandering sailors. On this chaos Rio has been built, and nearby, on the
high mountain, Jesus spreading his arms, is looking on that all and
blesses everyone who sees him.
And the city is growing on, and already 15 million people raise their heads in the morning greeting Jesus on Corcovado rock.
Probably the graffiti of such city will be especially bright. The city
authorities gathered 12 best graffiti masters and gave them money for
paints and allowed to paint the walls however they like.
To understand the mood of advanced youngsters of Rio you have to walk
along the streets of Lapa, go upstairs of Selerona stairs (another
madman has made the whole staircase decorated with red tiles and
patterns of various countries), go along the edge of favellas (quite
risky) or go by a famous yellow tram and be watched on your way by
painted citizens of Rio...
Some graffiti masters
Graffiti styles are numerous in the city.
Some classic ones
Rubens by his own eyes
Support of the team before the championship in South Africa
Afro Brasileira culture - talking sign
Rio is a wild mixture of graffiti, favellas, buisiness centers, temples looking like pyramids and ... leggy Brazilian chicks.
This one is truly epic! 20m long!
