The mosaic with the portrait of the national hero Agim Ramadani, realized by the artist Besart Gashi, is officially part of the book of records - "Guinness". At an area of more than 26 square meters, it is now officially the world's largest mosaic of its kind. In the "Guinness World Records" certificate, it is written that "the largest mosaic with wire clips is 26.7 square meters in size and was achieved by Besart Gashi (Kosovo), in Gjilan, Kosovo, on August 22, 2020".
Until now, there was another Albanian artist who held the world record for a work of this type. It is about Saimir Strati, who in 2017 created the mosaic of Mother Teresa, on an area of 10 square meters, until he used 1.5 million wire clips. Since then, the work is in the National Museum of Kosovo, reports KOHA.
And about Gashi's new record, "Guinness World Records" has also announced through the official website.
"In the mosaic is Agim Ramadani, a former poet and well-known artist. Besart Gashi created the mosaic using two different colored wire clips, using 4 pneumatic 'guns'. About 2 wire clips were used in the mosaic and it took nearly 275 hours and 400 days to complete it," says the confirmation of this record.
Gashi, who had said earlier that he used over 3 million wire clips, clarified which ones were counted by "Guinness".
"3 million 138 thousand 305 wire clips were emptied during the creation of the work, while there are 2 million 275 thousand clips in the mosaic", said Gashi.

He has not hidden his enthusiasm for this achievement, which he says has made him very proud.
"Commander is done! I am happy and proud that with the portrait of the Hero of the Nation we broke a world record and your picture was recorded in the Guinness book 'Guinness World Record'. This story will not be repeated again, because no one can be compared to Agim Ramadanin-Katana", Gashi wrote on Facebook.
Until in a statement for TIME, he said that he will continue to work for national values.
