In the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and driven by the familiar surge of anticipation that surrounds it, sometimes overwhelming, often exhilarating; Football Legends takes shape: an illustration series dedicated to the players who have defined, and continue to shape, the game. This first edition features 30 icons of Argentine football, bringing together different eras, styles, and contexts. The selection blends career achievements, impact, talent, and legacy: both individual and collective, on and off the national team, with an unavoidable layer of personal admiration. Rather than aiming for literal portraits, the pieces lean into an intuitive and exploratory process that allows artistic licenses and interpretations. A way of translating into image what often lives in collective memory: moments, gestures, identities. Having grown up watching many of these players on the pitch, and witnessing their influence beyond it, this series stands as a tribute: a visual reinterpretation of figures who defined generations and continue to inspire those that follow.
