Art Vladi  

Art Vladi is both a prolific, multi-faceted artist, and a professional kickboxer and wrestler. This unusual combination is essential to his many creations internationally. 

Born in Sofia (Bulgaria) in 1980, Art Vladi grew up in an artistic family environment, lucky to have a father who was a sculptor and painter. Already at the age of 15 he began to work with stone and made a sculpture in black granite of a famous Bulgarian businessman. His training in plastic arts school for 5 years allowed him to specialize in wood sculpture, Japanese manga drawings and in the psychology of art. Soon after, he developed his talents by working with his father to create sculptures in granite, bronze and other materials. 

Two years later, Art Vladi was also trained in Wrestling. An important tribute to the union of art and sport is his most famous sculpture, “Olympic Fountain", on display at the headquarters of the International Federation of Associated Struggles / FILA / in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland. In 2010, he produced busts of six presidents of the Federation. 

In recent years, Art Vladi has turned to painting and sculpture, working in a successful blend of Pop Art and Street Art styles. he customizes clothes (jackets, shoes, jeans, caps), and designs artistic furnishing objects. 

In 2016, Art Vladi produced canvases for UFC Champion Conner McGregor for his private collection.
