In mid-December 2017, a new urban sculpture portraying young skateboarders with a dog emerged in Valea Morilor Park in the capital. The sculptor behind this composition is Petru Glavan.

The monument, along with the one installed on the pedestrian street Eugen Doga depicting a pair of lovers, is part of the project “Sculptures that Look into the Eyes.”

The composition comprises four elements: a boy, a girl, a dog, and a skateboard. The girl is learning to skateboard, and the boy is assisting her. He supports her hand to prevent her from falling, and between them is the dog.

It’s noteworthy that the dog was crafted by another sculptor, Vasile Sitar, “in the likeness” of the dachshund belonging to the former Polish Ambassador to Moldova. This is how the dachshund was immortalized in the sculpture :).
