Anita — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:43:50 +0000

For a long time, author and interior designer Maria Brito has been obsessed with two things: graffiti and contemporary Brazilian art, and particularly the works of São Paulo artists Otavio and Gustavo Pandalfo, who call themselves Os Gêmeos. Known for their colorful and vibrant wall murals, we were delighted to see one of these works featured in the Spring travel issue of the New York Times T Magazine in an article about the great cultural and economic change that has taken place within the twentieth century in São Paulo, Brazil’s largest city.
