Details

After the russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022 Lidahovskyi and his family left Kyiv and moved to the United Kingdom.

When we left Ukraine to save our daughter, we didn't even think it would be this long. Starting from scratch here in the UK with refugee status, it was very important for me to stay in the profession because I felt like I had lost my voice and my language, so it was important for me not to lose my professional identity

According to the sculptor, the honorary membership in the Royal Society of British Artists was an unexpected surprise.

I found out the news on my birthday, so it was like a birthday present

- said Oleksiy Lidagovsky.
