Vladan was born in 1955 and studied Fine Art in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. After arriving in Toronto in 1993, he began painting public art for both commercial and residential spaces, and participating in numerous local art exhibitions.

Vladan paints abstracts and figurative using oils, acrylics and mixed media. His figurative work displays a deep connection between warm vibrant colors, space and single figure subject matter. Vladan creates parallels between solitude and warmth, as well as a balance between light and dark.
