Coming from street art, Aket kubic surprises with its inventiveness. Interpreting all subjects of everyday life, he brings new perspectives to traditional scenes by giving the viewer a positive and surprising vision of the ordinary.
Through his creation, Aket Kubic challenges the codes of cubism. He accentuates his shapes using urban art techniques. His style is unique and immediately recognizable. He deconstructs faces and bodies, as if he were sculpting his paintings. His technique is a succession of layers of paint, one after the other, starting from the background of the canvas towards the central character of his work. With the advancement of the character, the brushstrokes become fine, precise, reaching a level of detail that is always subtle. Each obvious shape is broken, the volumes take shape during the last hours, under the last brush or spray strokes.
