Vladimir Prodanovich is a Serbian-born neo-expressionist painter known for his textured, vibrant works.
Born in Belgrade in 1952, he began painting at age seven and apprenticed for ten years. He moved to the United States in 1983, first settling in Philadelphia, then spending 27 years in California.
He worked as a billboard and house painter before establishing himself as a serious artist in Laguna Beach. His style blends composition and form with mastery, and he is described as a very prolific artist who lived in his studio.
His studio is now in Florida, where he has created public sculptures and donated artwork to charities.
In 2011, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his philanthropy.
