If you have seen the the bust of Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled at Madeira airport on Wednesday, there is only one conclusion that could come to mind, the sculptor is a Messi and or Barcelona fan who is bent on insulting Ronaldo. The bust looks like anything else but Ronaldo. The sculptor, Emanuel Santos, however said he could not have pleased everybody and has not taken any of the derision to heart. Putting our judgement mildly, Santos should not have been paid for the bust, he should be sued for ‘defamation of character’.
“It’s impossible to please the Greeks and the Trojans. Not even Jesus pleased everyone,” he said. “This is a matter of taste, it’s not as simple as it seems. I have seen the work of great artists that follow this parameter. What matters is the impact this work generated.
“There is always the possibility of producing something that looks different, I was already prepared for all of that. I used some photos of Cristiano Ronaldo that I found on the internet as a base, not one photo specifically. I put the photos by my side and started working on the bust.”
The statue was presented to the public as part of the celebrations this week that saw the local airport renamed Aeroporto Internacional da Madeira, Cristiano Ronaldo.
