VLADIMIR VELICKOVIC (1935-2019) was a Serbian painter who spent much of his adult life in Paris. Veli?kovi? graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Belgrade University.

Veli?kovi? gained public attention in 1967 with an exhibition at the Galerie du Dragon in Paris, which established him as one of the leading artists of the Narrative Figuration art movement. In 1983 he was elected professor at the cole nationale suprieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and taught there until 2000. In 1985 he was elected a member of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and Honorable doctor of science at University of Kragujevac. He was honoured with the highest French award in the field of culture and arts, the Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His paintings were exhibited in many countries in Europe and Americas since 1951. Since 7 December 2005 he was a member of Acadmie des Beaux-Arts, section I, seat number 7.
