Art

Vladan Petrovic’s pictorial path is related to nature, the environment, landscapes, their cyclical and seasonal mutations and transformations. He captures their essence through color and various ranges of chromatic shades, with expert drafting of scores and mature technical skills. Intense tonal vibrations are captured in the paintings and an emotional impact of high lyrical depth springs forth. The “places of the soul” portrayed by the artist are serenely entrusted with her spirit, which is emblematically united with that which she immortalizes and offers an added note of plus value to the narrative layout. Each brushstroke is meticulously studied to give the best rendering of scenic effect and give the composition a varied alchemy of chiaroscuro tones, of immediate visual impact. The images describe pristine environments and contexts, glimpses and idyllic corners of “Earthly Paradise” to be admired and contemplated in their absolute wonder, with respectful devotion.

Vladan Petrovic takes the ancient art of landscape and makes it his own, reproducing reality and the surrounding environment with perfect descriptive mastery. The images celebrate beauty and are dropped inside an almost enchanted atmosphere, inside a timeless scenic curtain, accentuating the effect of emotional suggestion. The timbre of the color gradations is warm, permeating and is enhanced by the use of light and chiaroscuro effects, making the scenic stroke more incisive. The drawing follows a balanced proportion of volumes and spaces and denotes careful design preparation executed with a confident and decisive action. The compositions are not only meant to illustrate in a photographic way, but are oriented to trigger a co-participatory interaction with the viewer and to ignite his imagination, memory, and desire to imagine, dream, push and look beyond the seen and the known, transposing incipits from the real world and bringing them back between the folds and recesses of the soul and the heart.
