Vladimir 518, whose real name is Vladimír Brož, is one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Czech culture. His work combines visual art, graffiti, music, architecture, design, and publishing. He is known for his powerful visual language, his engagement with the urban environment, and his ability to transcend the boundaries of individual artistic disciplines.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S LIFE

He made a name for himself on the Czech scene as early as the 1990s as one of the key figures in Prague’s graffiti scene. Alongside his musical career with the band PSH, he developed his own visual art, illustration, comics, set design, and graphic design. He is the author or co-author of a number of significant publications, including *Kmeny*, *Město = Médium*, and the extensive project *Architektura 58–89*, which contributed to a new perspective on Czechoslovak postwar architecture.

In his visual art, he combines painting, objects, typography, spatial installations, and digital media. He has long explored the relationship between the city, architecture, and visual culture. He co-founded the audiovisual project SPAM, has worked in set design for experimental theater, and his work has been published in numerous international academic journals. His work is characterized by the energy of the urban environment, bold use of color, and the ability to translate visual experiences from the street into the gallery space.

He has exhibited his work in the Czech Republic and abroad, and in addition to his visual art, he has also established a prominent reputation as a musician, producer, and publisher. For the Glass Soul collection, he created the pieces *Object I* and *Object II*, in which he translates the dynamics of urban visual culture into molten glass. The result is a series of monumental sculptures that bridge contemporary art, architectural thinking, and the precision of Czech glassmaking craftsmanship.
