Ladislas is a French contemporary artist based in Barcelona, known for developing a bold visual universe he calls “Eco- Surrealism.” His work explore planet Earth’s biodiversity, ecological balance, and our emotional connection to the natural world. A self-taught artist, Ladislas began his creative journey in digital art and illustration before transitioning to traditional mediums such as acrylic painting and watercolors.
Over time, his multidisciplinary approach has expanded to include mural painting, enabling him to continually push the boundaries of his artistic research and engage with diverse audiences.

Motivated by a deep concern for ecological challenges, Ladislas uses his art to raise awareness about environmental preservation.

He often draws inspiration from marine life and has collaborated on impactful projects with organizations such as PangeaSeed Foundation (Hawaii), the Institute of Marine Science (Barcelona), Restore Coral (Mexico) and Moss Foundation (Australia).
In 2024, and 2025 he participated in two United Nations events: World Ocean Congress Barcelona & UNOC Nice as part of the art-science ocean community “Blue Genes” and “Tidal Shifts” art activation. His work has also been featured in numerous exhibitions with an eco-social dimension.

Ladislas believes that creativity and visual storytelling can inspire positive change. By working with like-minded individuals, brands, and cultural initiatives, he seeks to engage others in reimagining our relationship with the planet and fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

In my artistic practice, I developed a personal visual universe deeply inspired by nature that I call “Eco- Surrealism”. This body of work is exploring the relationship between humans and their place in the natural world. Through an explosion of colors, textures, and organic shapes, I’m highlighting the beauty, the richness, and the interconnectedness of life on Earth. I propose in my paintings to discover new worlds and narratives filled with symbolism that are pointing out some modern destructive behaviors of our modern societies.

In an ultra-modern, technological society with almost 24/7 digital connection, we’re facing an increasing disconnection that is cutting the primary link with animals and plants. I use painting and imagination to create a bridge and operate an emotional reconnection with them. Earth is a single living system where oceans, forests, sky and all living forms are intertwined. My work is transmitting this message to the public and the importance of this global symbiosis to maintain the planet’s balance.

Rather than depicting ecological issues through anxiety or fear, I choose a lens of hope, wonder, and creative possibility, encouraging viewers to rethink their relationship with nature. Through painting, murals, and collaborative projects with scientific and environmental organizations, my main intention is to inspire awareness, create a dialogue, and spark actions so we can once again see and care profondly for the extraordinary living world we belong to.
