VLAD'S SANCTUARY
Hello there! I'm Vlad and this website is a sanctuary for my artistic self. Here I share my music & photography with you.
Before you keep reading, thank you for your curiosity and for motivating me to keep doing what I love.
My music
My music journey begins in primary school, when I found my very first love: The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. Around this time, I started playing guitar and I quickly turned into a metal head, with Metallica as my corner stone. During high school I started exploring a lot more and gaining musical literacy, discovering bands like Pink Floyd and The Beatles. My fascination for the psychedelic period of the 60s and 70s is the reason why I started studying different instruments and recording my own music.
My photography
My passion for photography started in secondary school, when my parents bought me a small camera. Back then I would crop all my photos, so the subject occupied as much of the screen, and then I would organise them in countless folders and subfolders until my computer turned into an encyclopedia of flowers and insects. In time, my skills have developed, my equipment has gotten better and more importantly, my mind has matured. I like to think that dark still life, absract and experimental photograhy remains my signature today.Â
