I’m Nick Kubash, an artist and visual  designer. I was practically born with a pencil in my hand. I’ve been drawing for a long time. From napkins to large rolls of paper, I used to draw characters and vehicle orthographic views on anything I could find! I was told once that I am a storyteller who writes with pictures.

In high school, I spent my lunch hours in the art room - drawing. I also sought opportunities to learn more about my craft in extra-curricular creative programs such as those offered at the Ottawa School of Art.

I attended the Alberta College of Art and Design and studied Graphic Art, Character Design and Illustration, receiving my bachelor’s in 2012. From this well-rounded program, I honed my fundamental knowledge of art and design, improved my technical abilities and was exposed to mythic storytelling - the foundation of all cultural and narrative expression.

During my final semester, I sought inspiration for my work not just in a subjective vision of the future - as many designers do - but also in our ancient past. In my research, I found awe-inspiring beauty in great megalithic ruins, as well as their respective culture’s deep connection to and respect for nature.

I completed a two-year master's program in 2018 and since then, have worked with teams both in-house and remote. I now pursue my craft within varied artistic roles and have had experience creating for a range of project needs.

To be able to convey subtle beauty and deep meaning through designs ranging from simple to complex is a great challenge. However, I believe the forces that drive an artist can be seen reflected in the contours of their work. Those with vision beyond the norm; the source of which being truly timeless, reveal the best works.
