Dozens of thousands swarovski crystals, this is the number that Mr bling needs to make this unique piece, produced in the wake of the transfer of Lionel Messi to PSG. While waiting perhaps for a seventh Golden Ball, the Pulga will be symbolized by this sphere, which the Colombian artist should eventually give to him.
Messi at PSG greeted by Mr Bling
It is that Messi is a good subject of inspiration, but especially of business, for the one who bears the pseudonym of Mr Bling. As he reported it to The Sun, in 2020, he presented seven years earlier to the Argentinian footballer passing through Medellin, a portrait of him on the basis of 150,000 swarovski crystals. “He didn’t pay anything for it”, confided the artist to the British media, “But with the internet and online sharing, the visibility is estimated at $ 50 million”, for the benefit of the artist.
Another achievement for the Pulga
Since then, he has made a reputation and an XXL address book. Cristiano Ronaldo, but also at PSG, Neymar for his portrait or Mbappé who received his ball, have also collaborated with him. For Lionel Messi, it’s another ball, in line with his news, because Mr Bling had already made one for him, when he was in Barcelona. Without forgetting of course his portrait. The price of his work is not known, but it would approach, more or less a value of 100,000 euros. It is, for Lionel Messi, the equivalent of a working day, with his new record contract for France, signed with the capital club.
