Artist RAMON KUBICEK speaks to us from his home in Gibsons, Canada, where he is a prolific painter and writer. He describes how he has always worked at whatever comes his way in order to continue as an artist. Day jobs have included running wine tasting sessions and construction work. Throughout, he has created, and in recent years has also become interested in how art and healing can be merged, but with his own very specific viewpoint. Indeed his views on what makes art and artists are very carefully considered. 

As he remarks of earlier years, 'My life was hard but filled with wonder.' That sense of wonder continues with his current paintings combining myth, magic, and a vivid use of colour,  often with vivid and poetic titles. 

Examples of the artwork - and writings - can be viewed on Ramon's website at:  www.ramonkubicekart.com
