"El Pibe De Oro" represents my most ambitious artistic challenge: creating the legendary Diego Maradona using only recycled plastics selected for their natural colors - no paint, no artificial dyes. This unique 185×153 cm sculpture transforms discarded materials into a modern icon.
The revolutionary technique involves hunting for the exact shade of plastic waste needed for each detail. Every blue of the Argentine jersey, every skin tone, every shadow comes from materials that have found new life as pixels of greatness. The ocean itself provided my palette - weathered, sun-bleached fragments carrying their own stories before becoming part of the legend.
Maradona, like discarded plastic, was often considered "damaged goods" by society - yet both possess an indestructible essence. Just as plastic never truly disappears from our environment, true legends never fade. They transform, adapt, and find new ways to touch our lives.
