This outstanding memorial immediately above the entrance of Veles on the right side, is the eternal home of about 100 fighters from Veles, who died in the World War II for the realization of the old dream for freedom of the Macedonian people. The poppy-shaped monument is a work of the sculptor Ljubomir Denkovic and the architect Sava Subotin from Serbia and Montenegro. The symbol of freedom is a form of a blossoming tree is in the central part of the interior, while the walls of the memorial are covered with the biggest mosaic complex (220sqm) in Macedonia, created by the academic painter Petar Mazev.
where is it...? whats the story? (the graffiti is not part of the design, i assume?)
ReplyDeleteThe art is not graffiti, it is the largest mosaic complex in Macedonia and it was created by painter Petar Mazev. It's a composition of 5 pictures.
ReplyDelete1) Mazev painted the Macedonian people from the epopee of St. Elias Day's Uprising
2) the social revolts between the two World Wars
3) the period of the Nation Liberation Struggle and the omni-people's uprising
4) the victory over the fascist oppressor
5) The after-war construction of Macedonia and the freedom as an advantage of high priority.
Painting material: natural and artificial stones of Venetian polish
