Eduardo Kobra's Record Mural for Rio Olympics
Brazilian muralist Eduardo Kobra is creating a massive mural titled 'We Are All One' for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, commissioned by the organizing committee and the city.

The artwork uses the Olympic ring colors: blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is expected to be completed just before the opening ceremony on August 5, 2016.
