Cranio is a Brazilian graffiti artist who has been active since 1998. He is renowned for his works featuring blue characters that represent indigenous people from Brazil. They appear in this unusual color because Cranio wants to convey that they are sick, a result of today’s society. This work speaks of the consequences of the arrival of technology in the forest. According to Cranio, this event brought destruction and consumerism to a formerly pristine environment.
