Jerzy was born in Zamosc, Poland, and studied at the Academy Of Fine Arts in Krakow in the painting department. He decided to immigrate to New York in 1986. Jerzy constructs large scale images on silk using technologies to create layers, textures, translucency. He is searching for a language that expresses the ideas inside. Sometimes the paintings are quiet and translucent, and then suddenly become very dramatic. There is a symbiotic relationship between him and the materials.
Jerzy Kubina has exhibited his work widely in the US, including at Soho New York's first-ever gallery, the esteemed O.K. Harris. He has also shown internationally, in Paris, Poland and Mexico. Kubina graduated Magma Cum Laude from the M.A. program of The Academy of Fine Arts, Cracow, Poland
"I do not limit myself to a classical representation of an image. I’m in constant search of new media which not only enriches the subject but also inspires me to new forms of expression. Visual appreciation is a creative exercise performed in a specified time and a specific emotional state. The subject must be individual and unique. I do not attempt to keep a tight rein on my art’s framework, but give myself the opportunity to individualize each of the works. My present concerns are of the sacred and the profane, always longing for harmony, accompanied by destruction and devastation, my inner world translates that pulse into color images. My new works are a continuation of the process of creating art for art\'s sake.”‐Kubina See less
