The fifth unique artistic bench, "Imprints of Time," is located near the Water Tower on Lent, which inspired its creation. Together with the tower, it tells the story of the Drava River, rafting, and the enduring connection between the city and its citizens with the river.
It was designed by academic painters Jernej Forbici, Marika Vicari, and Vlado Forbici. The central motif of the bench is a rafter, reminding us of the history of this area, which was once used as a rafting harbor.
Jernej Forbici graduated with honors in both undergraduate and postgraduate studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Marika Vicari, a graduate painter and visual artist, exhibits her work throughout Europe. The Forbici family runs the Cultural-Artistic Association Art Stays and the FO.VI Gallery in Strnišče near Kidričevo, promoting cultural creation and artistic expression.
