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.

The Provençal Vineyard That Revolutionized Rosé By Whispering Angel and Château D'Esclans
Text by Lindsey Tramuta, Photographs by Martin Bruno

Discover the story behind the award-winning rosé wines from Provence’s Château d’Esclans, which inspired the “rosé revolution.”

Château d’Esclans’s impressive estate extends across 660 acres in the heart of Provence, France. Dating back to the time of the Gauls, vines have grown on its lands for centuries. When its founder Sacha Lichine acquired the property in 2006, he was destined to shake up the wine world: he set out to create the best rosés and to forever transform their place in the collective imagination, from accessible rosés to ultra-premium, luxury wines.

Exquisitely photographed, the never-before-published images showcase the history and spirit of Château d’Esclans. From spectacular images of the vineyards throughout the seasons to an exploration of the wine-making process and the people behind it, this book invites readers to discover how rosé wines come to life, and how they embody the essence of summer insouciance and the Provençal art de vivre. Esclans’s most popular bottles—Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, and Garrus—are icons of contemporary oenology, beloved by celebrities and lauded by wine experts alike. An exclusive look into one of Provence’s most innovative wine-making estates, this is the perfect book for rosé enthusiasts everywhere.

Foreword by Mikey February, Introduction by Stephanie Gilmore, Text by Ben Mondy

An illustrated journey through modern surf culture guided by the international surfers and communities that define its inclusive and passionate nature.

Epic photography brings the stories of a unique group of global communities, and the surfers that represent them, to life.

Told in their own words, some of the world’s most exciting professional and freestyle surfers—at different moments in their careers—introduce the influential figures, places, and waves that have shaped their lives, and their surfing.

From Ireland’s rugged and unforgiving west coast to the famous beaches of Oahu, Hawaii, making stops across six continents along the way, Breitling provides a unique and unexpected window on the modern surf experience.

The sport’s inclusive spirit is what inspired the iconic watch brand—a champion of surf culture and maker of timepieces for ocean pursuits since 1957—to highlight surf’s wider community with a book dedicated to the sport’s diverse characters, unexpected outposts, and collective culture.

Based on interviews with surfers about the local communities they call home, The Breitling Book of Surfing is as much an in-depth travelogue as it is a beautiful photography book. It is for long-term surfing enthusiasts and newcomers alike, exploring the common values and passions that shape this diverse and dynamic global community connected by the ocean.

So much more than a picture book, The Gift opens the window to Korean culture, transporting the reader to another time with an important lesson to learn

Tired of constantly working hard, a poor painter encounters the legendary Dokkaebi, who gifts him the life he has always dreamed of as a rich and famous artist. But the painter soon learns that his gifts come at a price and perhaps his new perfect life is not all it seems to be.

Vividly illustrated in a style that combines Minhwa, traditional Korean folk art, with pop art, The Gift is an engaging fable about gratitude and appreciating the beauty in life.

A delightfully imaginative picture book that is both a fun read-aloud and also a great way to engage children in conversations about managing emotions. Welcome to the Grand Hotel of Feelings, where all kinds of feelings come and stay. Every guest has unique needs. Anger, for example, is very loud and needs plenty of space to scream and shout. Sadness speaks in a small voice and occasionally floods the bathroom. Gratitude likes wandering about in nature; you never know when she might come and sit by your side. Some feelings are big and some are small, some are fun and some are tricky, but no feeling is ever turned away. At the Grand Hotel of Feelings, there is room for everyone!
