His work, named "Romeo with a crown of grapes playing the guitar while dancing with the sea and the sun" is a homage to life around the Mediterranean. He worked 14 hours of work a day for 28days and completed his project on Thursday.
"I love mosaics, they are a dying genre. I follow the same technique used 3,000 years ago," said Saimir Strati. "A mosaic requires you to work for a long time and keep the emotion alive."
"I also wanted to appeal to Mediterranean countries not to create mosaics based on computer pixels, but as our forefathers did. The Mediterranean is the home of the mosaic."
His 25-year-old mosaic collection features one created with fragments of egg shells and a portrait of Elvis Presley, made with compact discs. The artist did his latest work in a local hotel, where he told visitors: "Drink, because I need the corks."
