“Let me be myself” — Anne Frank mural (2016) in Amsterdam, by Eduardo Kobra. From her diary (April 12, 1944):

I know what I want,
I have a goal, an opinion,
I have a religion and love.
Let me be myself and then I am satisfied.
I know that I am a woman,
a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.

Ik weet wat ik wil,
ik heb een doel; een mening,
ik heb een geloof en een liefde.
Laat me mezelf zijn, dan ben ik tevreden.
Ik weet dat ik een vrouw ben,
een vrouw met innerlijke sterkte en veel moed.

In 2022, I used the same text in a speech at a TU Delft campus rally for Iran, to support woman, life, freedom.

STREET ART UTOPIA
🌟 When art stops you in your tracks and makes you think twice… this is it.
Meet “Seja Luz” (Be Light) by the legendary Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra — a breathtaking reimagination of Rodin’s The Thinker glowing inside a massive lightbulb. Vibrant colors explode across the muscular form, symbolizing illumination, creativity, and hope even in our darkest moments (this powerful piece was born during the pandemic as a reminder to seek and be the light).
Tucked in the sophisticated Jardins district of São Paulo, right near the iconic Avenida Paulista / Brigadeiro area, this towering mural turns an ordinary wall into a burst of inspiration. The perspective shift from street level is unreal — one moment you’re looking up at a contemplative giant, the next you’re pondering your own bright ideas. 💡🧠
Kobra never disappoints: bold, colorful, meaningful, and impossible to scroll past.

This avatar icon is a small crop of a large-scale mural near New York’s #HighLine park by #EduardoKobra titled “O Beijo” [The Kiss, 2012]. It’s an example of Kobra’s signature vibrant and kaleidoscopic style of painting. Like Johnson’s sculptures, it is after Eisenstaedt’s photograph. The work sadly was painted over in 2016. https://www.eduardokobra.com/projeto/39/o-beijo
