The legacy of two famous Argentine football legends, Diego Armando Maradona and Lionel
00:13
Messi, is now immortalised in the form of mural art at the IOI City Mall shopping centre
00:19
in Putrajaya.
00:20
The mural painting was produced by Argentinian artist Cesar Damián DÃaz-Ferro, who was
00:26
brought to Malaysia specifically to produce this piece of art.
00:30
Argentine ambassador to Malaysia, Marta Laura Gabrieloni, said she hopes the mural art exhibition
00:36
can strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
00:40
Through his mural, he has immortalised the spirit of Argentina painting and vibrant tapestry
00:49
of our culture and pride that now finds a home here in Malaysia.
00:55
This mural pays tribute not only to Maradona and Messi, but also to the countless Argentinian
01:02
athletes who have carried our flag to the pinnacle of success.
01:08
She said this during the mural inauguration event on Monday.
01:14
This mural art exhibition was officially launched by the Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh.
01:20
Both our countries share a love for football, and Maradona and Messi are legendary here
01:25
in Malaysia.
01:26
I'm pleased to see their murals here in IOI City Mall, which I hope will inspire younger
01:31
generations to play football.
01:33
As many families spend a significant amount of time in shopping malls because of the air
01:38
condition, they can be suitable platforms for encouraging sports among youth and older
01:45
people.
01:46
Sometimes a child needs only to see a sport for his or her interest in the sport to be
01:51
sparked.
01:52
To Mr Cesar Damián DÃaz, who has brought this mural to life with your creativity and
01:56
dedication, we thank you for your talent and your hard work.
02:00
The four-metre high by four-metre wide mural is on static display and open to visitors
02:06
at the lower concourse level of the Symphony East Wing of IOI City Mall.
