Aga Kubish ARE

Aga is a printmaker and illustrator based in Weston super Mare. Dedicating herself to botanical, nautical and architectural illustrations for the past few years, Aga has created a unique and extremely highly detailed recognisable style. She discovered printmaking in March 2021. Aga specialises in the style of old engravings, dotwork (pointillism - graphics composed of dots). She uses a hatching technique, using black or brown ink, a lot of tiny lines and dots. Large scale lino prints give her the opportunity to present her love for details and textures. She looks for shades of grey and playing with light in her linocuts. She is endlessly fascinated by the old engraving style of Albrecht Durer but also Hokusai Katsushika and Alphonse Mucha.

 

In 2018 she moved to the United Kingdom, North Somerset, where she continues to specialise in plants and architecture, specifically England landscapes, sea monsters and old buildings. She is a founder of Sea Nest Art Studio based in Weston-super-Mare and swiss cheese plants lover.

As a mother of 3, mixing art and motherhood is the greatest challenge in her life.
