My tragedy. I paint fun beer pictures, but when something tragic happens in the world that touches my heart, I want to portray it. I have six of these. This is September 11, the death of the ferry Estonia, the earthquake in Armenia Spitak, etc. The king of football, Pele, has left us. I am 63 years old. I remember him from childhood and therefore could not help but paint this picture. In the picture, Pele says goodbye to our world. and flies to another world where the heavenly team of great football players who have already left our world is waiting for him - Maradona, Yashin Lev Moore Bobby Carlos Alberto Shirea Gaetano Best George Cruyff Johan Di Stefano Alfredo Garrincha Eusebio Ideraldo Luis
On the left is a photo from Pele's childhood to old age. An old TV is on the window of the 1958 World Cup. 17-year-old Pele scores the last goal of the championship and loses consciousness. Garincha pumps him out. Below, the whole world says goodbye to the great genius of football, King Pele.
