Throughout her formative years, Layla excelled in art classes and participated in several art exhibits. She traveled to various countries due to her family’s business, finally settling in California to pursue a career in Illustration/Concept Art.

Learning to paint digitally was her goal and found that opportunity at Gnomon — School of Visual Effects, Games & Animation where she learned a mixture of a more classical and modern approach. From there, she attended workshops from nationally renowned digital artists and from there began to find her own path in her creative journey.

Career[edit]
Layla Vladi is a German-born visual artist currently based in San Francisco. Her work has been featured in Artifact NYC, LA Art Show, and Frieze Seoul. Growing up between Hamburg and Timmendorfer Strand. Throughout her formative years, Vladi excelled in art school and participated in several art exhibits. Her family moved from place to place often when she was young, which did not allow for lasting friendships and as a result her childhood was a largely solitary one. Vladi would later credit the instability in her early life with the birth of her artistic identity, finally settling in California to pursue a career in art.
Vladi’s brand of “visual poetry” reaches into every corner of the human imagination, blurring the lines between the past and future, the mundane and mystical, the real and surreal. Drawing inspiration from sources as vast and varied as anime and video games, Romantic poetry and Japanese folklore, she turns the digital canvas into a place of alchemy where magical possibilities come alive. Her work features imagined worlds full of dreamy landscapes and haunted figures, where glassy orbs hover in the sky instead of moons. Where flowers and butterflies proliferate as much as skulls and fire. Where hard-edged shapes meet feather-soft brush strokes.
These captured moments often hold tension and quietude in equal measure, a testament to the endless spectrum of the human experience and our ability to feel two polar opposite emotions at once.
Each work is an invitation to leave behind the everyday and give yourself over to the fantastic.
Her motifs range from Van Gogh to Sailor Moon, though her own style clearly originates in the rich culture of Japanese manga and anime. Her dark and mysterious looking creations are a dream of digital painting and honorable in their professional craft. Whether in collaboration or as a solo project, Layla Vladi's artworks inspire around the globe. In addition to illustrations and digital works, she also creates character designs and concept art in her studio.
