Vlad Pocol explores migration as both a geographical and emotional condition, approaching it through individual and collective lenses. His practice engages with experiences and traumas not as endpoints but as catalysts for transformation. By probing the subconscious, he examines the ways in which origins, ancestry, and memory shape present identity and inform future aspirations. His work addresses notions of social conformity, the construction of identity, and the essential role of intuition in life’s unfolding processes.

​

Central to his approach is the notion of movement: each gesture, each line inscribed on the canvas is conceived as an act of migration, a trajectory through which processes of becoming are inscribed. Painting operates as a performative act, recording states of passage and transition. In his abstract works, gestural movements and lines embody cognitive energies, leaving vivid and enduring imprints. Their sculptural quality confers a sense of perpetual motion, situating the viewer within a field where social and emotional flux is negotiated alongside reflection.
