This first monograph traces Martín Kazanietz’s evolving practice as Gordopelota, blending amateur fútbol with broader reflections on Latin American identity, class, humor, and resilience. While rooted in the rituals of the sport, his work extends to everyday codes, neighborhood dynamics, and the aesthetics of popular culture. Spanning a decade of paintings from 2015 to 2025, the book captures his unique visual language—turning ordinary moments into sites of symbolic resistance, and offering a graphic portrait of a region and sport shaped as much by joy as by defeat.
