‘Messi – Golden Alchemy of Argentina’ by Pythia is a tribute to the global icon Lionel Messi, who brought his nation to the top of the world in 2022. The bust is painted in the vibrant colors of Argentina, sky blue and white, while the material seems to pulse beneath golden splashes that envelop the figure like a halo of glory: the gold here signifies the triumph achieved and eternal consecration in football.
The instinctive painterly gesture symbolizes energy, dream, and perseverance: the chaos of the golden lines echoes the thousand steps, flashes of genius, and moments of ecstasy that marked Messi's career, culminating in the historic victory of the World Cup against France in 2022 after an epic final. The color pairing not only evokes Argentine pride but also transforms the work into a true visual alchemy: the myth of football and the celebration of the man who inspired the world.

Artist's biography
Pythia is the daughter of Etna and the sea. After traveling through Italy and breathing in the essence of Tuscan art, she returns to her homeland to give voice to her vision.
His works are contemporary busts in which the face, symbolic and timeless, contrasts with painterly gestures full of energy and meaning.
Every creation is a dialogue between matter and color, between calm and movement.
His signature is a promise: every work is intense, unrepeatable, and full of meaning.
A modern oracle, born from magma and tide.
