career in Belgrade, Gornji Milanovac, Geneva, Cacak, and Kragujevac.
His paintings are collected around the world in Holland, France,
Switzerland, Norway, USA, England, and South Africa.
“Like a monk who leaves his monastery to see the world and
returns to it, and from its isolation finds the appropriate words to
talk about it, Vlada talks, through his paintings, about the world he
has seen and his intuition of the world he senses…” Benoit Junod
(Geneva - 2005)
“(…) The universe which Vlada leads us into through his
paintings is perhaps the one which alice found beyound the
looking-glass. It is not fairground world with light relief or escape
routes, althrough the sky is always blue there. Architectures are
rigorous, and faceless Man confronts his destiny and measures himself
to it. Maybue Vlada brings us there to give us the privilege of
seeking the truth there in. Again proof of fragility, of our own
fragility, is present. The balance and harmony however contradict
what might be frightening in this world which obliges us to
introspection. The intelligence of artist is to hold our hand and
reassure us, as he leads us along his pictural path, much as Dante
did before him…”
