“Kuba Machula was born in Czech Republic, Europe. He studied 8 years at glass art schools in Novy Bor. In 2008 he worked in the Netherlands for artist Bernard Hessen. In 2004 Kuba became a US Resident and from 2009 to 2013 he has lived in Rochester, NY and worked for glass artist Michael Taylor. During this time he became fascinated by American abstract painting such as Jackson Pollock and the non-contact “dripping” technique. Kuba took this form of painting even further and found and developed his own technique which he calls “shooting”. He uses different types of ropes wetted with oil paints and creates paintings with an abstract form, but still a realistic subject. Since 2013, Kuba lives back in Czech Republic and still works in glass, as well.”
