2010 solidarity gala
The night the painting became part of the foundation’s story.
In 2010, Fundación Leo Messi celebrated a solidarity gala in Buenos Aires that brought together sport, culture, and social commitment. During the event, Liniers created the large-format artwork live, with Leo Messi joining the gesture by adding his own brushstrokes to the canvas.
The evening helped amplify the foundation’s mission for children and adolescents, connecting the painting to a broader philanthropic effort focused on health, education, inclusion, and opportunity.
