Anatoliy Valiev arrived in Luxembourg on the eve of winter in 2023. He had come from Kyiv, where he was a teacher at the Kyiv Academy of Arts. Holding the title of Honoured Artist of Ukraine, Valiev has received several international awards for his large-scale, statuesque, modern sculptures in bronze, stone and ceramics, many of which adorned the capital of his home country.
