This is how one mural in Belgrade street Riga od Fere used to look before. It was just one mural among several murals that showed Serbian famous actors, writers, football players. During one night they were all gone, painted black, just like in Rolling Stones song... Who did it and why? Why destroying street art? But, I am happy to know that art was stronger. Today, in the 3 o'clock, at the place where was this famous Belgrade mural, group of people gather with an attention to draw murals again and to show that art is stronger than everything. An artist who painted this mural started to paint again. We were all happy to see that our famous poet is reborn on the wall again. It all started like this.
First, we saw something like contours of his face. Branislav Petrovic was a famous Serbian poet and journalist. His legendary poems are well known all across Serbia. It is a poetry that wins on a first reading.
While the actor was reading his poems, we could see his eyes and glasses.
It wasn't a long time we saw a whole face...
Petrović was about to be born again...
We were all happy to hear dear poems again and to know that people still have a reason to fight for art!
This action will continue and they will repaint all the murals.
Special thanks to @lighteye who gave me special inspiration for this text! :)

Ово је фантастично, @srba, не само што си снимала догађај, него и цео поступак осликавања мурала. Изванредно! Колико је дуго трајало осликавање?
Pa recimo da je bilo izuzetno brzo. Na primer za pola sata je nastalo ono što je na poslednjoj slici, ostale su još neke finese koje umetnik treba da dovrsi, ali je najveći posao gotov. Mislim da je to zbog njegove veštine, ali i toga što je već jednom crtao isti mural... Bila je tu i porodica Brane Petrovića. Uglavnom, sve je prošlo baš kako treba i dolikuje... :)
