Jakub Kubica

His work navigates the intersection of art and design, a dialogue that becomes particularly evident in his sculptural pieces. Kubica’s artistic language is shaped by a process of rediscovery, often likened to the fieldwork of an archaeologist. Through layering, extraction and recontextualization, he constructs new readings of the present, revealing hidden narratives embedded within material and form. This approach lends his work a sense of temporal ambiguity, as though objects exist simultaneously as artefacts of the past and propositions for the future. 

A recurring theme in Kubica’s practice is the fragility of the natural environment and the risk of its disappearance. This concern is explored in his series Please Do Not Hesitate to Contact Me, presented during Berlin Art Week at Wilhelm Hallen, where he was selected as a finalist for the 2021 Berlin Masters. Balancing rawness with precision, Kubica’s works invite reflection on material memory, transformation, and the shifting relationship between nature and human intervention. His objects resist fixed categorisation, existing instead as revolving forms that question permanence, value and the conditions of their own making.
