Between albiceleste flags and to the rhythm of the classic song “Dale, champion” a mural measuring 35 meters high by 15 meters wide, created by the artist Martín Ron and capturing Lionel Messi, was inaugurated today at the intersection of 9 de Julio and Belgrano avenues. after scoring the first goal in the match against Mexico, a key event for his consecration in the World Cup in Qatar, on the occasion of the first anniversary of winning the World Cup.

It is not the first time that Ron, the Argentine winner of the “Best Mural” award, had already portrayed another soccer idol a few meters from this new release. Within the framework of a new anniversary of the birth of Diego Armando Maradona, Ron had eternalized his figure in the largest mural that was created to date in honor of the 10. The work, which is 40 meters wide by 45 meters high, It is located in the San Cristóbal neighborhood of Buenos Aires, on San Juan and Solís avenues.

In conversation with Télam, Ron remembers the Maradona mural: “It was made on a wall that I saw on my tour of the city more than 10 years ago and I always said that it had enormous potential because it is a very large wall for a mural with a quite long panoramic view, that is, it can be seen from Entre Ríos and is embraced by San Juan Avenue and the highway.”

During the celebration, people took selfies with the mural and many of the drivers who crossed Belgrano Avenue honked their horns to join the celebration. Everyone who passed by could not help but raise their heads to admire the popular idol eternalized on the wall.

A new mural dedicated to Messi

Painting Messi was a pending subject, the same as Maradona. I reserved those two opportunities to do something big, very official and with the help of YPF it could happen, confesses Ron, for whom this job is a double satisfaction, for representing these popular figures doing what he loves most, what it is to paint, and for his passion as a fan.
