/ BLUE HEART OF EUROPE
The concept begins when the artist’s brushes pour onto a giant canvas measuring 7600 m2, where among the colors flow the branches of Europe’s only wild river, the Vjosa. These branches remain untouched in the artwork, just like the Vjosa River that flows wild in its natural bed. This painting will bring together a series of personalities from the art, sports, history, media, politics, and social life in the country. These figures will have the opportunity to, together with the artist, throw their colors and signatures on the canvas, becoming part of this artistic creation.
The impact of the event This event aims to give meaning and a significant social message to the moment in which we live. Civilization, urbanization, and nature can coexist in harmony by respecting each other. Vjosa River is Europe’s last wild river that flows untamed, offering a magical landscape. Vjosa has been in the spotlight of many important institutions such as the European Commission for the Environment, Pindos Environment, River Watch, Euro Nature, Patagonia, Eco Albania, EEF Adria, Estland International Europe, as well as international personalities like Leonardo Di Caprio, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora. It has now been declared a National Park and a protected area. All this aims to create an impact not only in the world of art, sports, and politics but also to raise awareness among the audience about one of the most important ecological issues, such as preserving the natural richness of the Vjosa River.
