The legendary Tom Brady, 46, is enjoying his stay in Brazil in a special way. The former American football player, recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all time, landed in São Paulo this week and was surprised, this Saturday (2), with a sculpture that honors his career.
The work, signed by the plastic artist from Santa Catarina, Cainã Gartner, who carries on the tradition of the fourth generation of carpenters in his family. In the sculpture, an iconic representation of an American football is visible, symbolizing Tom Brady’s legendary trajectory in the NFL, where he established himself as the best of all time. This exclusive work was carved by hand and stands out for its combination of walnut wood and 23-karat gold finish.
During an XP Inc. event, the piece was delivered directly into the hands of Tom Brady by the economist, co-founder and Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, Guilherme Benchimoll.
Artist Cainã Gartner, responsible for the sculpture valued at more than R$100,000, took two months to create and capture the essence of the player’s high performance. “I sought to represent characteristics such as quick thinking and objectivity, which make Tom’s movements so precise”, he says, in an official press release from XP.
This honor marks Tom Brady’s first visit to Brazil since the end of his marriage to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
