The OUZ Library has a very special collection on display, all the way from Europe.
Albanian artist Vasiliev Nini is displaying a large amount of drawings, paintings and sculptures. Vasiliev said he knew from a very young age he was meant to be an artist.
"I'm living for art. Why do I say I'm living for art? Because in my life I did just this job," said Vasiliev Nini. "When I was a kid and now and all my life I think is going to be artwork."
OUZ art professor Jerry Westerges met Vasiliev and thought his artwork needed a venue. He said he was amazed at his talent and thinks it needs to be out where people can appreciate it.
"You're not going to find many artists of his training and his stature in this country who know the body and now all different faces of sculpture as well as he does so we're really thrilled to have him here," Westerges said.
He has more than 20 exhibitions around the world and has won several awards. The exhibit is up at the OUZ Library now through January 16th. The exhibition is free and open to the public during library hours.
