Jakub Novak

Born: 1986 in Bratislava, Slovakia
Lives and Works: Brno, Czech Republic

As a visual artist with a background in architecture Jakub "Kubo" Novak is fascinated by parametric design, classical geometry, architectural composition and crystallography. He embraces paper as a universal medium, very potent in its versatility.

His creative process is a two-fold method the first stage of which is the
design phase dwelling in the nearly limitless virtual environment. He then
creates the pieces meticulously by hand confronting the designs with his
physical and skill limits.

Kubo lives and works in Brno, Czech Republic. He is married and has two sons.
