In her practice, Vlada illustrates moody cityscapes and scenes of daily lives captured in urban settings. A recent visit to London, a dynamic and complex city, has led to her graduate collection of paintings consisting of urban landscapes and populated subway scenes. The series conveys potential scenarios the everyday life might unravel. Her paintings are inspired by the beauty of the present moment and how its simplicity can gain significance when we pay more attention to it. She invites the viewer to see the world through her eyes, whilst leaving space for their personal interpretations and emotions. Her interest in light, movement, colour and contrast forms the foundation of her atmospheric cityscapes. She observes them with a curiosity to unearth the complex stories these scenes hold. Through her figurative scenes, though distant and isolated, she intends to capture the dreamlike feeling of the mundane, romanticising the often-overlooked simple moments of life that shape its beauty.
