ARUAR
Artrooms Ukrainian Artist in Residence

It was so lovely to see so many of our sponsors at Artrooms Studios this week for the farewell drink for Anatoliy Valiev our current Artist in Residence, who will be leaving us in January.

During his time at Artrooms, he has produced an amazing body of work, and we wish him every success as he continues his journey.

We were also delighted to welcome Galyna, who will be our new Ukrainian Artist in Residence in 2026.

Liudmyla was also present — our very first Artist in Residence when the programme began some four years ago.

Thank you again to our generous sponsors for their continued support. As the war sadly rages on, our artists in residence are always deeply grateful for this peaceful studio space in which to work, and for the support networks that surround them.

Many thanks to Sarita Muldoon for the great article, see below :

Galina Stadnik-Danylevska is known for expressive paintings that blend realism with abstract energy, layered textures and dynamic brushwork

It was a wonderful day signing first day cover stamps at the Post Helix building. Thanks to all those who turned up.

By the end of the day I felt I had really perfected my signature ;)

“Climate Change & Its Effects on Forest Health”

I’m delighted to share a project I’ve been working on with LIST (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology), exploring climate change and its impact on forest health.

This has been a meaningful and inspiring collaboration. My work aims to visually echo and amplify the research LIST conducts through their projects—translating complex environmental challenges into a visual narrative.

Below is a short text constructed by LIST to give additional context to the artwork :

“When art and science converge to highlight the urgent pressures facing Luxembourg's forests
Artist Ben Carter explores the delicate systems that sustain forests in this series of four connected cardboard landscapes. Each 15 cm square box represents a stage of environmental decline — from thriving woodland to fire, infestation, extreme weather, and drought.
Beneath the surface, painted layers trace the continuous flow of groundwater, gradually drying as the damage above intensifies. The work reflects on the loss of natural balance: with predators removed, rising numbers of deer and fawns overgraze young shoots, preventing regeneration. In the "infestation" section, fallen trees hint at the growing impact of extreme weather — powerful winds brought by a changing climate.
Together, the boxes form a single terrain, charting the flow of water from hills down toward sea level - a quiet reminder that every disruption, above or below ground, echoes through the entire ecosystem.

Carter's artistic exploration resonates directly with the work of our research.
Through projects, LIST scientists study tree health, groundwater flows, carbon sequestration, and air quality to better understand the pressures Luxembourg's forests face under climate change.
By combining scientific evidence with artistic expression, this campaign aims to strengthen awareness of how deeply interconnected our forests are - and why protecting them matters now more than ever”.

Im delighted to be able to finally share my new Christmas Stamps for the Post Luxembourg, which were officially released today.
They can be purchased at all Post offices, or alternatively ordered online.

They also have a very special feature, they glow in the dark!
So imagine what fun you could have with these 😁

Print deliveries with my trusty little assistant Toffi, which she obviously finds far too boring 😅

After nearly 18 months, our current Artist in Residence at Artrooms Studios, Anatoliy Valiev, who fled from Kyiv during the war in 2024, will be finishing his residency at the end of December.

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful sponsors, Anatoliy was able to continue his creative work here in Luxembourg — rebuilding his artistic life after displacement. 💛

The Artist in Residence Program supports artists and creatives with refugee status, helping them settle in Luxembourg by providing a city studio and materials to rebuild their practice.

As Anatoliy’s residency comes to an end, we are opening the program to artists displaced by conflict anywhere in the world — including, for example, those from Palestine, Myanmar, Sudan, and other regions affected by war or persecution.

If you know an artist with refugee status in Luxembourg — or if you are one yourself — please send a DM and feel free to share this post.

Thank you for helping us continue this important work. 💛🎨

One of my steel sculptures, merging Esch Belval, Luxembourg’s industrial past, with the capital’s iconic landmarks — the Mudam, Philharmonie, Red Bridge, and Pont Adolphe. The red is a nod to the Terre Rouge and in perfect sync with the garden. 😉
