Well, this is quintessential Vlad. Amazing combinations of color and texture, mastery of technique, whimsical theme and a cartoonish element somewhere in the composition. Sometimes the cartoonish aspect is well-integrated (as in "Punctuation") and sometimes it seems willfully incongruous or ironic, like graffiti slapped on top of a masterpiece.
Like many here, I'm in love with Vlad's art. But living with the cartoon octopus is a struggle. At the same time, we must realize the composition would be empty, dark and lonely without it.
At the risk of offending genius, I try to imagine our pianist without dark stripes and the bulging cartoon eyes replaced by classic Ray-Ban shades with burnt orange lenses.
Would that work? Would "Pianist" still be recognizable around the world as a Vlad? If I could answer those questions, I might be creating popular works of art myself instead of slaving 9 to 5 [LOL]!

I am so much in awe of your talent. When I found your website I immediately registered. I was excited to find and download so many wonderful desktop pictures in one place. I couldn't wait to have such fine pictures decorate my computer as I worked on it, but oddly enough, instead of working I often find myself simply, quietly staring at my computer screen. Mesmerized by your work; I can sit for hours contemplating every line, shape or colour as I would a mandala in meditation. This work, Emotion 3 is sublimely perfect for such meditation.
