The work that carried his reputation furthest concerned hard marking of opponents and strength in the air, he usually plays as a centre back. Athletic careers are short and pitilessly measured, which is what makes the great ones legible.
Working from Colombia shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
