Before he started his official art career, he enjoyed illegally tagging walls which eventually lead to several arrests throughout his teenage years.

[3] He researched the science behind human vision, architecture, urban space and tri-dimensional projects because he wanted to understand how to effectively paint in order to give his viewer a specific experience.

[2] Due to the realism of his murals and the 3-D design of his work, the viewer is often confused because the human eye has a hard time differentiating between sculpture and painting on a flat surface.

By using these two mediums he is able to use immense detail, perfect aesthetic and rich light and shadow to make his objects appear 3-D.[2] The main goal of his work is to provide a space for the public to interact with his art.

[6] During his teenage years Kobra ran with a well-known graffiti group known as "Hip Hop" in São Paulo which was who he began experimenting with street art as a career.

[5] During this time, he began making posters for events that were held at the largest amusement park in Brazil, which was his first paid art job.

The goal of this project was to transform the appearance of an urban space through the means of a piece of art while also bringing back the lost memories of the city.

[3] Kobra has worked for a number of large organizations and public figures such as Playcenter, Beto Carrero World, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Chevrolet, Ford, Roché, Johnie Walker, Londice Cacau show and Carmim.
