Artistic Research Interests: Kubiak's practice centers on painting and drawing, executed through series-based projects like "Kingdom," "Gloomy Sunday," "It Could Be True," and "Utopia Inc." that dissect utopian/dystopian narratives and societal critiques. She extends this into installation art via works such as "Other Side", blending analogous landscapes with conceptual frameworks. Her medium-focused approach (pen, pencil, traditional techniques) grounds her contributions in fine arts while addressing modern existential themes.
