KUBA AMBROSE

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Primary medium: OIL ON CANVAS

Born on December 17th 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, Kuba is a painter and poet working predominately in the area of visionary/mystic art. A number of early experiences fostered an interest in fantastic art and spirituality. Brought up by Polish parents, a graphic designer and a devout catholic mother, both of whom influenced his path as an artist. In 2006 Kuba completed a Bachelor of Painting at RMIT before embarking on a nine month journey to Europe to further his growing interest in renaissance art. In 2007 he spent six months working as a painting apprentice for Austrian artist Prof. Ernst Fuchs.

 In 2008 Kuba was employed at Victorian Art Conservation where he worked as a picture framer and art restorer. During this period he began a cycle of painting exploring the ‘divine influx’ expressing the interplay of divine forces within the receptive vessel of the human being. Ambrose’s travels led him to Jordan, Israel, Bali  and Far North Queensland. In 2011 he was invited to teach the ‘misch technik’ during a ten day painting retreat in Ubud, Bali. This was followed by the ‘InSpire’ workshop in Cairns and the ‘Sacred Realms’ and ‘Sacred Visions’ seminars in Melbourne together with Daniel Mirante and Basia Wiacek. In 2012 he travelled to Torri Superiore in Italy to take part in the ‘Expanded Visions in the MischTechnik’ hosted by Laurence Caruana.

 His artwork has been exhibited internationally and can be found in numerous art collections.

 Kuba is currently based in Vienna, Austria where he will be teaching as a lecturer at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art.
