Predrag leaves magical stones on the beach and he wants someone to find them: He did that incognito, but he became the main attraction in Greece (PHOTO)
He used his wife's nail polish for the hearts that are mandatory on each stone because he only had black dye
If you go to the tiny village Skotina, under Olympus, to spend your summer, pay attention to where you are walking because there is a chance that you will find works of art under your feet. Predrag Dimitrijevic from Ripanj has been drawing on stones for five years. He puts sea motifs and leaves them on the beach to make some unknown people happy. And he succeeds in that.
The incredible success of a young paraglider: He flew over Macedonia in a single breath
When he was here with his family a few years ago, he started drawing on the stones with a black marker out of boredom.
- The first motif was a little fish that is on the calling card of our hosts who had the bar on the beach. That is when I started drawing on the stones as a gratitude towards them, and out of curiosity what will be the reaction of people who find it on the beds and on tables - remembers Predrag.
He used his wife's nail polish for the hearts that are mandatory on each stone because he only had black dye.
- Skotina is a small place and it has absolutely no souvenir shops which would remind you of this place, so I saw that people are happy when they find it - he said.
Predrag said that some people watched them and left them because they didn't know if someone lost them.
- Soon, I bought a few more colors and I expended my motifs by drawing mermaids, a boat on the sea and a lighthouse, this year, the best one among children was Patric the Star from Bob Squarepants. I tried to work incognito so the people don't know who the author was, out of curiosity to see their reactions, and out of fear that my drawings are nothing special because my work is far away from any art - he explains.
Of course, he couldn't stay unseen, so the children gathered around him to draw something.
- One time, I even got a "fee" when one family sent me a glass of beer to refresh because I draw 5-6 stones to them. My wife teases me sometimes, but when children come around me, or when people ask me to draw something to them as if I am the main attraction on the beach - said he.
