Vladan was born in 1955 in Serbia, East Europe. He made Toronto home in 1993. In Canada, he has been painting Fine Art, murals, animation backgrounds, and comics. He has commissioned numerous portrait paintings. He had solo shows in Toronto, Calgary, York (UK), Columbia (SC), Palm Beach Gardens and Sarasota (FL). For me, art is a conversation. The visual language is universal; I want to believe that my subjects cultivate the dialogue between me and an appreciator. If this symbiotic process succeeds in calling some reflections and an emotional journey around the painting, my duty is fulfilled.
