The Cristiano Ronaldo Story: Madeira and Lisbon

Cristiano Ronaldo's journey to superstardom started in the humble streets of Madeira. As a young boy, his incredible love for football was evident to all who saw him. Football was woven into the fabric of his life, and Cristiano demonstrated an infectious enthusiasm that stood him out among his peers. 

“My time in Madeira laid the foundations for everything that was to come in my career. Without my roots, I wouldn’t be in the place I am today.”

  • Cristiano Ronaldo

Eventually, his exceptional potential was acknowledged. At the age of 11, Cristiano moved to Lisbon and began to nurture his raw footballing talent. Cristiano's time in Lisbon was a monumental chapter in his life. He was coming into his own, transforming into the football marvel that fans worldwide have come to adore.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rise in Manchester

In the bustling city of Manchester, Cristiano’s journey took a pivotal turn. Here, with the support of a legendary coach and through hard work, he transitioned from an up-and-coming player to a football star making headlines worldwide.

“Manchester holds a special place in my heart. Under the mentorship of Sir Alex Ferguson, I evolved as a player and as a person, learning invaluable lessons that shaped my career.”

Meet the Artists

Katt Phat

Katlego Phatlane, known as Katt Phatt, is a leading figure in digital design, based in Funchal, Madeira. At his creative hub, Katt Phatt Studio, he merges traditional artistry with modern digital techniques, specializing in commercial and 3D art.

"I fell in love with Madeira during my many visits and decided to move here, drawn by its captivating charm and the deep personal connection I've developed with the island.

In the artwork, I explore wood grain patterns, reflecting a unique life journey and the enduring spirit of Madeira and Cristiano Ronaldo. Creating this artwork is not only a tribute to their legacies but also a celebration of the unyielding spirit of renewal that defines both the island and its famous son. 

Through my art, I aim to honor these narratives of resilience and growth, while creating meaningful work for one of the greatest footballers ever."

Rodrigo Doin

With a cartoonish style, full of vibrant colors, energy, and good humor, Rodrigo Doin became known for his stroke with strong influences from graffiti and urban art. Raised in the midst of skate and graffiti groups, music, and audiovisuals, the artist has always been involved in the artistic scene in various ways.

“I was born in Brazil, a country where football is akin to a religion. Presently, I reside in Portugal, where the fervor for the sport is equally palpable. Experiencing this era alongside a global icon in the sporting world like Cristiano Ronaldo adds an extra layer of excitement.

As an artist, I am fascinated by the profound influence Cristiano Ronaldo wields over society. His impact extends beyond the field, shaping our language, fashion, and even our deepest motivations. Observing the nuances of his high-performance and status as an idol across various domains is truly enlightening.”

John Sheehan​

With a BA in Visual Communications under John’s belt, he initially set his sights on the expected path of graphic design. But then, something unexpected happened - John stumbled upon the world of football artists on Twitter. Their impressive portfolios, showcasing collaborations with top teams and brands, sparked a lightbulb moment: he could do this!

“Capturing Cristiano's journey in Manchester is not only a testament to his remarkable talent but also a homage to the city that embraced him. 

It's a privilege to commemorate his time in Manchester through art, highlighting the fusion of footballing excellence and the resilient spirit of the city”
