The name Tena is the most common female name in Slavonia and many brands carry that name. Tena Pavletić is the heroine of the eponymous novel by Kozarac. The novel was written in Piljenice, the westernmost Slavonian village where a Pavletić cooperative, of which Kozarac writes, really existed and it was Ivan Pavletić, a member of the cooperative and a local ranger, who probably inspired Kozarac. The greatgrandchildren of that ranger, the five Pavletić brothers, decided to establish the Arteco Association and use it to once again tell the tale of Tena with waste wood and vine sculptures. However, the Pavletić brothers and the Arteco Association use their sculptures to tell the stories of other authors like Ivana Brlić Mažuranić, Matija Reljković and others as well.
