More Brasil? Yes! We got in contact with Sao from Sao Paulo recently. He kinda forgot, we kinda forgot..and all of a sudden: bang! A brand new sparkling Spam! interview in the cfye inbox. Anyway, you might know Sao from the 6EIMA project (more after the click) together with Delafuente. They give an extra shine to the city in the most original way, using manholes and other parts of the streets in their art. As a solo artist, Sao is very versatile as well, his work is colorful and reminds us of a street Picasso style.
