02. DESCRIPTION:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this one, this is my first portrait on canvas. It was painted using acrylics and
a black marker. Radivoje Gajić, locally known as "Rale," is recognized for riding a
custom-built "tall bike" at Serbian anti-corruption protests.

Beyond his local visibility in Novi Sad, Gajić gained regional recognition and
media attention for his involvement in long-distance cycling protests and
civic awareness tours. He gained broader media attention when he joined
students on long-distance cycling tours. One of those tours was a journey
from Serbia to Strasbourg, France.

Tour de Strasbourg was protest cycling action by Serbian students back in
April 2025, organized by students and activists from Serbia. They set out
from the University of Novi Sad campus to cycle all the way to Strasbourg,
where where the Council of Europe is located. The goal of this action was
to spread awareness of social and political tensions in Serbia.

03. IMPRESSIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long time, I painted it to celebrate the students' victory in the elections
against SNS and the end of Vučić's 12-year political dominance. Nothing much
to say, except: ,,СТУДЕНТИ СУ ПОБЕДИЛИ" (English: STUDENTS HAVE WON).

I hope you enjoy this one.
