Aga is an award-winning artist printmaker based in North Somerset and founder of ART GALLERY & STUDIO by Aga Kubish in Weston-super-Mare. Dedicating herself to botanical art for the past few years Aga has created a unique and extremely high detailed recognisable style.
She discovered linoprinting in 2021.
Aga specializes in the style of old engravings, dotwork (pointillism - graphics composed of dots), she is in love with traditional bookbinding and plants photography. She uses hatching technique, using black or brown ink, a lot of lines and dots and hundreds of hours....
Aga has been drawing since she remembers. One of her first memories was drawing her socks on her feet when she was 3 years old and painting the walls...
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, she continues to specialise in plants and architecture, specifically England landscapes, sea monsters and old buildings.
Aga is one of the Associated Members of Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers /Election 2022/.
