He was considered a 20-year-old artist who had won several international awards with his paintings, and that was why moderator and author of the afternoon program at Tv Klan, Rudina Magjistari, invited her program Edlir Reka on Friday. But all was just a trick.
Edlir Reka from Berat has completed the Artistic Lyceum in this city and presents his "talent" wherever possible. On Friday, at "Rudina", at Tv Klan, he was invited to talk about his art, even presented a painting he said he won a prize in Moscow and his work lies at the Museum of Art Modern Art in the Russian capital.
But the truth had been everything else.
Immediately after the program, the first responders were the citizens that follow Rudina Magician on Instagram. They wrote alongside Edward Rita's picture that the painting he claims to be his is in fact a Canadian artist called Blu Smith. Surprisingly, the painting by Edlir Reka, shown in December, is an identical copy to that of the Canadian painter. The paintings he posted suggest that Edliri has not won any prize in Moscow, but is simply a false news that has been associated with a photoshop fraud by taking a picture of Canadian artist's painting and posting it on Instagram as themselves. Today he was again invited to the "Rudina" show in Tv Klan to talk about the truth. The moderator asked Edrir to tell how truth was and to seek public forgiveness for everything actually sold as the last time he was invited to the program.
" You have disturbed us all this weekend by a truth, which turns out to be completely different. How is the truth in you? " Said Rudina EdirÃ, who said that by the news of the last days he was shaken more than necessary: " Everyone is shocked, but as much as I am shocked , I do not think it's anyone else ... It's not easy when reading such headlines in the paper. Everyone would feel bad , "Edliri said.
After that, Rudina asked to admit that he had deceived the public. She explained that she had entrusted to him from his Instagram profile: "When I saw your profile on Instagram, I saw beautiful pictures and said that this guy will definitely have it in the program ..."
But it did not. As Rudina confessed afterwards, there had been reactions to her and the program, so even today she asked Edir to seek public apology and find her way into life without being influenced by anyone or anything.
